It seems strange the ROI would use circular LNBs/Ka band for DTB broadcasts these days

I always though it was old school technology or specialised stuff for outside broadasts

Its been years since the nordic countries used it on Sirius satellite

I mean ITV & BBC have a footprint of UK & ROI for their broadcasts but with right set up folk are watching these channels in Canary Islands!

It would be more attractive to encourage viewers to switch to digital sat & be able to either use existing Sly box or dedicated FTA box similar to UK

Otherwise means buying new stuff in a country where money is tight at present
