Receiving TG4 and RTÉ channels in Northern Ireland
The UK and the Republic of Ireland Governments have confirmed their intention to make TG4 available on Freeview to much of Northern Ireland, and to facilitate the provision of RTÉ One and RTÉ Two. See here for more information.
After switchover, when analogue TV is turned off, most people will be able to get these channels either from Saorview - the Republic of Ireland digital TV service – or via a new Freeview service due to be launched later this year in parts of Northern Ireland. Freeview HD equipment will be required to watch these channels on Freeview. Digital UK expects to provide further details of where the new service will be available from spring 2012. We recommend seeking advice from a good local retailer about the channels you want and the different equipment options.
The Republic of Ireland is also switching
The Republic of Ireland Freeview service, Saorview, will be extended to people who cannot currently receive it. The Republic will switch to digital in a single stage on 24 October 2012. Visit www.goingdigital.ie for more information.
