FTA Channels in Ireland

[mahoomeister]

Hi Guys,

I'm just wondering if anyone knows what Free To Air channels are available in Ireland (off NTHell cable) at present? I've scanned and gotten 143 channels, out of those 28 display - presumably these are FTA:

002 RTE 1 (TV licence!)
013 EuroNews FRA
016 EuroNews
022 Info TV
024 Virgin 1
028 Discovery Real Time
046 Comedy Central Extra
061 EuroNews DEU
062 EuroNews ITA
063 EuroNews ESP
064 EuroNews PRT
065 EuroNews RUS
076 Buzz TV
079 Comedy +1
080 EWTN
082 Q
084 Discovery Channel +1
102 G.O.L.D. + 1
103 Nick Replay
105 DMAX
106 QVC
108 ID
109 Living +1
110 Setanta Ireland
116 City Channel
125 FilmFour +1
134 Home
140 3e

What seems strange to me is that some of the +1 channels are displaying but not the original channel, e.g. FilmFour +1 shows but not FilmFour etc. Anyone any ideas?

I'm keen to get RTE2 (I have a TV licence!), TV3, BBC, Channel 4, E4 and a few others. Are these FTA?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I'm aware of the new encryption being used. So this must mean that they are encrypting the FTA channels also!
