Saorview ( ) is the national〔http://www.saorview.ie Official Irish DTT web site〕 digital terrestrial television (DTT) service in Ireland. It is owned and operated by 2RN (RTÉ Networks). The service began operation on 29 October 2010 on a trial basis with full launch on 26 May 2011.〔http://www.rte.ie/news/2010/0601/dtt.html RTÉ News〕 By legislation it was required to be available to approximately 90% of the population by end of October 2010 in a public testing capacity and nationwide by December 2011. The national public launch was preceded by a public information campaign, which began on 15 March 2011, with a television and radio advertising beginning 17 March 2011.〔http://www.saorview.ie/news/saorview-launches-public-information-campaign/〕 Saorview was officially launched on 26 May 2011 by Minister for Communications Pat Rabbitte TD,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Saorveiw Officially Launched )〕 and the service became the primary source of broadcast television in Ireland following the ending of analogue transmissions on 24 October 2012. ==Overview== Saorview is Ireland's national DTT service. The Irish word ''Saor'' (:sˠiːɾˠ) means free, thereby mirroring a common name of DTT services in many regions, ''Freeview'', through a mix of the English and Irish languages. Saorview is available from 64 DTT transmitters covering 98% of the population as of the end of Q3 2012. The previous analogue terrestrial television (ATT) network was available to 98% of the population from 150 ATT transmitters, however TV3 and TG4 were not available on all transmitters.〔http://www.techtir.ie/tv-radio/Irish-DTT-Sites〕 The service is a DVB-T/MPEG-4 HD set top box (STB) receiver or iDTV and UHF aerial will be required. MHEG-5 has been selected as the middleware standard for digital teletext, Saorview branded EPG and interactive services. For non MHEG-5 compatible receivers regular analogue TV teletext will continue to be available and programme information will be displayed through the receiver's own inbuilt EPG. Either DVB or Teletext subtitling can be displayed when broadcast. Mary Curtis became Director of Digital Switchover (DSO) in September 2010 and reports to the Director General. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saorview」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
