Taken from the Wiki:


RT? One HD was launched on December 16, 2013.[8] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RT%C3%89_One#cite_note-8)RT? One is now broadcast solely in High Definition (HD) on the national DTT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_terrestrial_television) service Saorview (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saorview), with the Standard Definition simulcast ending on 2 April 2014. However RT? still provides a Standard Definition (SD) output of RT? One to pay television operators on cable and satellite, for those subscribers who still have equipment that does not support HD.
RT? Television decided to launch the new HD service just before the Christmas period to draw audiences attention to the new service available to viewers. RT? have started to convert their main production studios (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RT%C3%89_Television_Centre) to HD, the first being studio 5 in 2012, which is used mainly for sports productions. All programmes still made in standard-definition are upscaled on the channel and it is intended that the vast majority of the channel's output will be in high-definition in due course. RT? One in SD will continue to be available on UPC Ireland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UPC_Ireland) until more of its customers have upgraded their equipment to HD, while Sky Ireland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_Ireland) is due to launch the HD channel in 2014. As of June 2014, the channel is yet to be available to Sky customers.
