Do or do not, there is no try
Re: digital tv
Check the seciton on boards.ie. DVB-T is digital terrestrial all right, but there are different versions depending on the coding used. For example, the UK uses MPEG-2 compression (and decompression) while RTE is using MPEG-4. So, most digital TVs specced for the UK are not compatible here.

Re: digital tv
I know very little about this but even though most tv's are mpeg2 and Rte have chosen mpeg4 (typical) it is possible to get a converter or a maybe its call a card to convert the mpeg4 stream.I think they are about €50 on the net. Satelite tv installer told me that whatever that means. I am very happy with freesat. No more bills and all the channels I need. Kids are only mildly impressed as all the pampered ones have sky.

Re: digital tv
Be careful with the cards. The ViaAccess MPEG4 card is well reviewed, however not all TVs are compatible, so be prepared to take a gamble. Again, the guys on boards will give good guidance on this.
