They do make the best, but it’s english and we can’t be having that over here.
Imag8ne after Brexit and the collapse of the EU, We’ll only have RTE 1&2, TV3(or whatever they call themselves at the time) and TG4. I can’t fucking wait.
Be just like the fucking 80s.
We will have aerials on the gafs again and have to turn them them to get S4C or BBC1 WALES

I have an aerial in my attic - need it for the Irish stations (Saorview) but it also picks up most of the UK Freeview channels from Norn Iron. However, we generally use the satellite box for UK freeview channels and IPTV to steal the premium channels - conveniently, my satellite box is also an IPTV & cardshare box. UK Gold is one of those channels you can still get on cardshare, along with BT Sports and some of the Discovery channels. I put a lifetime cardshare sub in mine years ago and it still works for the channels that Sky don't give a fuck about like UK Gold... just put it on now to check it still works... Hi-de-HI!

There are no good Irish comedies. Mrs Brown is recession TV.

Well o get a good laugh at Fair Shitty, but that's not a comedy and I actually just laugh at how pathetic the acting is on it. The in laws watch it, I don't, so only ever have to suffer it occasionally and if I sign change the tv quick enough after the lotto numbers of a Wednesday night

Gold isn't on Freeview - I think all the others listed in the link are... but you won't get them on the Freeview we pick up from Norn Iron - possibly relayed? If you want them free - except Gold & Watch - your best bet is a satellite dish and box.

Yix kounts have it soo good with TV channels these days.
I was 13 years old when Ireland got it's SECOND TV channel (RTE 2) in 1978.

All that said, I wouldn't rush out and buy any new equipment if you're happy with the rest of your Vigin set up. The dispute will probably be resolved and the channels returned quite quickly. It happened a while ago with the Discovery Channels being pulled from Sky or almost being pulled. I can't remember off hand if a deal was struck just before the plug was to be pulled or shortly after.
I think we had RTE Relays up above in Dublin in '78, Ken. Six channels in total IIRC, well more if you take account of the fact that UTV often switched to HTV and BBC NI to BBC Wales for no particular reason. I remember my uncle watching the cricket on a visit from the mainland when it just switched to something else. Even being before the days of remote controls he took some convincing that nobody had touched the set.

Cablelink were the one installing in our area(Finglas)back in the 70's....remember looking at this.

Cablelink was formed in the 80s, a product of RTE merging a few cable operations it owned, RTE Relays and Marlin in Dublin and some others down the bog... I think.

RTÉ / Telecom Éireann ownership[edit]
The company began operations in 1970 as RTÉ Relays, a subsidiary of Raidió Teilifís Éireann. It carried four channels – RTÉ Television, BBC1, BBC2, and Ulster Television. In 1984, the company merged with Dublin Cable Systems, itself the product of a merger of Marlin Cable with Phoenix Relays. In 1986, the Irish Government began to allow Irish cable companies to carry non-terrestrial (i.e. satellite) services. In the same year, RTÉ merged all of its cable operations (including two other cable companies, Galway Cablevision and Waterford Cablevision) to form Cablelink Limited.[1] As Cablelink, the company was Ireland's largest cable company by far, and expanded to a fifteen channel service (plus premium channels) gradually. In 1990, Telecom Éireann acquired 60% of the company from RTÉ. The biggest controversy the company managed to embroil itself during this time was a dispute with British Sky Broadcasting over carriage fees for Sky One and Sky News. This led to the two channels being pulled from the platform from 1992 to 1994. The "return of Bart Simpson" was prematurely announced by Cablelink several times before the channels actually reappeared.
The company also wished to develop broadband services in 1997/1998 but there was an embargo on developing and selling Internet services by the main shareholders, Telecom Éireann, but the management felt if it were developed and a trial launched then there would be no stopping this. To conceal this from the Board, they hired a small Dublin company The Communications Interactive Agency to manage and run the trial. To this end all purchases of equipment and Internet Services were done in their name. At the time they were one of the first to demonstrate VOIP in Ireland as a commercial service which was done by the then managing director Alex Gogan at the Press Launch, by dialling live the Speaking Clock in New York using Net2phone.com service.
At the time they were one of the first companies in Europe to trial and launch Broadband services. What stopped the trial from becoming a full roll out across their network was the purchase by NTL. It took the company almost four more years to integrate NTL Broadband service.

We only had RTE 1 up till 1978 and then RTE 2 also till the mid to late Eighties (and No remote control either).
Then Cork multi channel came along and every Mog in the city tapped in to the exposed lines to get the service fer free.
Then Multichannel changed to a analog box system;

and of course every mog in the city had their box 'Doctored' to also recieve all the premium channels fer free.

Sure when we got the satellite installed sometime in the 90s, me father was taken out of the room and the installer told him something. Needless to say that from that day forward the tv had to be off by midnight, even if we were watching a film and it was nearly over, the tv went off at midnight.
I found out a few weeks later when they were off out for the night. Let’s just say I had a very happy 10 minutes as a young teenager lol lol

It was generally known as the pipe i.e. piped TV. I doubt it was difficult to wire yourself up. Tech was a lot simpler back then. I remember seeing a lad bring a phone into a phone box and attach it to the (already tampered with) line with crocodile clips!

Naive Landscapes are hard .But you have captured the essence of the environment, your use of colour rather than light to portray athmosphere is interesting .Your work is reminicint of Rodrick OConnors early works in the West of Ireland .

You do know that the Turner bequest means that his collection must be shown in the Irish National Galley every year .Find his work is more about shade and light that composition to much of the canvass taken up by sea scapes or skyscapes .Much prefer John Constable or Lanseer Landscapes .
