Is 3e on Free to Air Saorview
Derek asks;
Is 3e on Free to Air Saorview?
Our answer;
Yes Derek, 3e is available on Free to Air Saorview but not on free to air satellite TV. It is part of their range of TV channels on the new Digital Terrestrial TV service called Saorview which was officially turned on towards the end of 2012. Currently you can get both RTE channels, TV3, 3e, TG4 and RTE News Now.
All of these as we speak are currently broadcast in standard definition as well as RTE2 being broadcast in HD also. To get Saorview you need either an MPEG4 HD TV or an HD Mpeg4 Digital Receiver or an Approved Saorview Set Top Box. You will also need a suitable UHF Aerial from out TV Aerials range.
You could also use a Combo Box which would give you the best of the Free Irish & UK Channels in one box.
