Saorview is the the digital free-to-air television service that will replace the analogue system, which has been in operation since 1962 here in Ireland.
The analogue television transmission system will be turned off in 2012 making way for digital television as mandated by the EU. This is a major change in broadcasting and offers many advantages for the viewer such as more channels, better quality pictures, sound, on-screen programme guides and a new interactive service. To continue to access Irish television free through your aerial after the switch off date you will need to switch to Saorview. For most people, enjoying the benefits of digital TV will mean a once-off payment for a Saorview approved set-top-box or new integrated digital television.
The switch over is easy but it is important to understand what you need to receive the Saorview service. Milestone Euronics located in Golden Island, Athlone is a local approved Saorview registered retailer.
The dedicated staff in Milestone Euronics, Golden Island, Athlone will provide you with all the necessary information and will be happy to answer your questions.
