TV3 Now Available on the Ireland’s New SaorView DTT Service
[ad_1]
DTT Channel Lineup
TV3 have joined Ireland’s Digital Terrestrial TV (DTT) revolution and have joined Saorview lineup. The channels now on the system include
- RTE1
- RTE2
- TV3
- TG4
- RTE News
- RTENL2 (test transmissions only)
What does this mean for you?
Finally for those living in Terrestrial TV land there is a full digital alternative to the existing analogue. Along with the 4 Irish you can also get the pretty excellent RTE News channels. So for those who like their TV free from bills and static interference this is by all accounts a good day. Those of us who have been following this story over the last year will know that TV3 had been DTT service last year and then went off so hopefully this time it is for real
How do I tune TV3 into my DTT receiver or MPEG4 TV?
You don’t need to do anything it will come in automatically where the old RTENL1 signal was. If you rescan this signal is now called TV3
How Can I get the DTT service?
To receive Digital Terrestrial TV you will need a UHF Aerial kit & some type of DTT receiver
You have 3 basic choices in terms of receivers
- Buy an MPEG4 TV – this way you don’t need a buy a receiver
- Buy a DTT receiver such as the TRIAX TR110 DTT Receiver which is SD but full HD DTT Receivers should be available shortly.
- Buy a combo Satellite & DTT receiver such as the Edision Argus 2in1 receiver – which gives the 5 Irish channels, BBCs, ITVs etc on a single box
