Ah RTE2 is grand, to the pub so.
This mean us folk on the mainland are going to miss it?

Of course, the Interweb is an alternative - there's usually someone streaming the RTE pictures.
And pay a $20 cover charge :rolleyes: Myp2p has it listed right now and I'm sure JustinTV will have somethingQuote:

Live World Cup Quals - Montenegro v ROI
Wed, Sep 10 2008 - 17:45
Description:
Live action from Ireland's World Cup qualifier in Podgorica with Montenegro. Giovanni Trappattoni's men will have to contain the home side's star Stevan Jovetic to win. K.O 6pm
Will someone please explain to me what is going on? I went to a lot of trouble to get Setanta Sports so I could see the WC Qualifiers. According to them they were they only ones showing all of Irelands matches. Now I see that RTE are showing them also!
What is going on here?

It remains to be seen what will happen with the other games they have rights to.
The sketch on RTE from the Apres Match was the "Cellotanta" panel. It was very funny but slightly ironic insofar as RTE could only show a half screen (on my TV anyway) while Setanta, although originally only half screen, sorted out the technical difficulties and showed full screen.
Cellotanta indeed.
Setanta just stretched the picture.Quote:

Stretching a 4:3 picture to 16:9 is just distorting the picture and making the players look shorter and fatter, I am sure Andy Reid is not happy about this :DQuote:

If you don't like the black bars at the sides buy a 4:3 TV like mine.
Films are only widescreen because cinemas are wider than they are tall.
Who said anything about stretching to widescreen format.
I wrote "stretch to acceptable proportions"
Widescreen is not an acceptable proportion for a 4-3 stretch.
The name to the screen format was either Super Live 2 or Cinema 2.
Looked very good.
:D Too true but no one can do it!!Quote:
