Just did the Survey. Will your research be published online when completed, if it is make sure and come back and post a link.

A small suggestion: at the end of the survey there is useful links but they seem to be geared towrds NI so some links for all of Ireland would be nice.

seen this in the independent today:

yea he lives in Creeslough now same as Mcfadden, St Michael's in Dunfanaghy is in the the same parish as Creeslough

Has anyone checked their attendance record online and found they are not registered for games recently? particularly Donegal or Down fans, was your Ulster Final attendance registered or is it just me that has this problem?

yea still not marked down for the Ulster Final, will give it a few days and then fire them off an email, they were quick in sorting it out the last time i sent them an email

I'm hoping someone can help me.
I have just put a Saorview ready TV in the spare room,I was also trying to get Sky signal from my sky digibox in the sitting room working on the TV.

What I done was bring a cable from the Sky box and a cable from the Saorview aerial into the attic and and connected them to a Powerpass 2 way TV splitter and then from the powerpass I brought a cable to the a Sky eye and from that into the TV.

My problem is I can only get one signal working at once,If it is all connected as above I can only get the Saorview channels,when I disconnect the saorview cable going into the powerpass I can get the Sky channels and the use of the sky eye working perfectly,but then when I connect the Saorview cable back into the powerpass the signal from the sky goes again.

Sorry I know I'm rambling but I hope ye can get the jist of what I'm trying to say .I've been at this all day and it is wreaking my head.
I have it just left now with the Saorview channels which are working great.

Think you would need to bring the Saorview cable down tot he SKy box and connect it in there, and then just have the one cable going from the Sky box to attic and then onwards to the spare TV.

[i would rather lose than play like Donegal.]

Even if Donegal were to beat Down on Sunday, and go on to win the AI, it will not change the fact that they are not a good team. They win ugly, albeit within the rules. Outside of Donegal, who would pay money to watch them. No flair,limited skills and a win at all cost cynicism. If God forbid this proves successful and other Counties hungry for success adopt this model, it will lead to the death of Gaelic Football as a popular spectator sport. Indeed it would also be a very unattractive sport for young people to take up. I believe that Down will win on Sunday, because we have the better footballers, but if it is not to be our Day, i would rather lose than play like Donegal.

How very Noble, you keep fighting the good fight 

I have also got charged 27 euro for the Pat McGrane stand via the season ticket, Pat McGrane is 25 euro and Gerry Authur is 27 euro. They really do know how to piss of loyal fans, where as blow-ins for the ulster final day will get treated like kings.

the season tickets are out for the ulster final. I see they are putting us in the Pat McGrane stand this year and not the Gerry Arthur Stand

Done. Good luck with it

Just a point on tuning for Saorview on an Mpeg4 TV. I have a panasonic and when I do an automatic scan it does not pick up or it removes RTE. However when I go into settings and make it region specific it then picks up all the saorview channels. I don't know if this applies to other makes.

I assume that you make it region specific to Ireland, and when you do that can you still pick up the freeview stations.

this might have been covered already but:
i an trying to get RTE through my freeview box , but all i can get is sound, no pickture. the channels come up on the EPG alright, but just a black screen and sound. is this something to do with the freeview box i'm using or is it down to poor signal?

Sounds with no picture would indicate that the decoder in yourset top box is MPEG-2. MPEG-2 is what the Freeview used. But Saorview used MPEG-4. Though I hear that the Freeview HD ste top boxes are MPEG-4 so if you had a Freeview HD box you would be able to get picture and sounds from Saroview.

In Donegal here and was able to download it for free from Kindle App on android

ya you have a good chance of seeing them in Iceland:

you cant go far wrong with any of the Western Digital players. Have one myself for a few years and have yet to come across a format it cant play. VOB, MKV, MP4, AVI etc
