Why is RTE not available as a Free To Air service. I think it is a national disgrace that I pay my TV licence fee but can only get good TV reception if I pay extra. The advertisers are loosing out here too. When there is a program on RTE but also available on a FTA chanel I will go to the FTA chanel every time as the reception is much better, so I dont see any of the local adds.
Rupert Murdock has bought RTE1/2 and i think TG4 so if he owns them why would he let ppl see them for free when he can charge astronomical prices for them?

in uk you dont have to have a licence if you watch tv through a computer. dont know how it works but thats in uk.
It's different in Ireland - the legislation states that any device that is capable of receiving television broadcasts must be covered by a tv licence (or words to that effect).

That would mean that bringing your broadband enabled laptop to your holiday home would require a TV license - is this the case?
No - it's if your laptop has a TV card - ie a card that allows you to receive TV signals
And perhaps [broken link removed] a PC will require a licence regardless of whether it has a TV card or not...
Try watching TV3 for a night - then see if the licence system is a good idea.
The full cost of pursuing one defaulter all the way through the system is more than that person would pay in licence fees in their entire life.

You don't - If you don't have a TV, you don't pay for me to watch RTE.If I choose to not watch any TV why should I pay for you to watch RTE.

The Leas Cross issue convinced me of the value of RTE this year. That one show was worth the entire licence fee for the year.
