Why can't we get RTE Radio and TV in the 6 Counties on "Freeview". (Digital TV/Radio)
My RTE reception in Belfast is pretty crap on TV and Radio only available on Long wave for RTE Radio1, (forget Radio 2).
What happened the Good Friday Agreement? You get all the UK channels...come on boys lets share here.

RTE isn't fully digital. That's why u can't get it on Freeview.
Move to Derry - we get RTE brilliant here. And all the radio stations.
I don't know what you mean by 'orange' areas but I used to live in East Antrim and coverage was got there with special ariel. But as I said earlier - RTE isn't fully digital so probs with freeview.

With person above me.
Move to Derry we get all of RTE Channels here and its good, RTE 1 has more movies before you get them on UK tv and even TV shows like Prison Break on RTE before Sky :)

Too right! Didn't know you couldn't get good RTE up north.
I live in the west of Ireland, by the way, and don't get the UK channels through terrestrial television.

When I lived in Derry we had very good coverage but that's not what you asked! May I suggest getting a special aerial/satilitte. We only get BBC1 and BBC2 down here because of Sky. We don't have ITV etc. If you want them you have to request a special card from SKY. It's not fair really!!

Why would it be on freeview? In the Republic we have to pay to to get BBC/ITV ETC.
