Irish TV channels

That date is in regard to DTT being broadcast freely in each country in europe nothing to do with this.

Please note: If you log on to TVneto.com.-Free worldwide TV on your pc you will find RTE 1. As I report this the 6.01 evening news is on. If you can tolerate the ad screen beside the tv .

Looks like a good box @ that price. I have 4 boxes at present and would hardly justify more expense for the RTE/TG4/TV3 extras. Thanks anyhow Daithi.

If you look at their website you will see they do a wide range of HD receivers but if you are refering to Daithi`s post above you may not be able to get RTE andTV3 on any of them, as I imagine the above mentioned receiver has inbuilt data to receive these channels, otherwise all receivers would receive the channels and there would be no need to buy the above.

Hi Guys, only coming in on this towards the end.

I have an "Edision Argus 2 in 1 ip HD" box which is set-up to take a feed from my Sat dish and also from a small UHF digital aerial. This gives me all the Freesat channels (including BBC1 HD & ITV HD) as well as RTE1, RTE2, TG4, RTE News 24hr and at the moment TV3 test card.
The reception on the DTT channels are perfect, digital quality. The small aerial can be mounted anywhere - I even tried it out facing the wrong way, upside down and in the most hidden place in the house I could find and still got great reception (this will depend on your location but on the East coast of Ireland there is great coverage).
You can also connect an external HD via a USB slot and turn the box into a PVR with "Pause Live TV" and "Recording" functions.
