Irish DTT is the term being used to describe the free Irish digital terrestrial TV service consisting of the public service channels in TV and Radio (RTE1, RTE2, TV3, TG4, Radio 1, 2FM, Lyric and RNaG). RTE have announced on 19 Jan 2010 that the Irish public service DTT will be branded Saorview. The public service channels are 100% free and require no subscription. It was planned to add more free channels to this service including an arts channel and an oireachteas channel but these are now in doubt due to the recession. The official service is not launched as of January 2010 but has been available in test mode since June 2008. The announcement of an official service launch is expected shortly.
