May 30, 2011 - PRLog -- The national launch of Saorview, RTÉs free to air DTT service, took place yesterday and was attended by Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources.
At the national launch the Minister Rabbitte said, “With the national launch of Saorview today, Ireland at last enters the era of national free to air digital broadcasting”. This digital network will replace the current analogue network which is nearing obsolescence.

The launch of Saorview forms an integral part of Ireland’s national digital switchover strategy which provides for the ultimate closure of the analogue TV network at the end of 2012. In achieving this strategy there remains much work to be done. Minister Rabbitte added, “The recent research commissioned by my Department shows that at least a quarter of a million Irish households are reliant on the analogue service and with the national launch these households have 18 months to move to digital TV before the analogue TV network is switched off.

Karl Fitzpatrick of Chevron Training stated “The switchover from analogue to digital TV will provide tremendous employment opportunities for trained Digital TV installers. At least 250,000 households will need to transfer to the digital network prior to December 2012. As there are currently less than 300 self employed aerial installers across Ireland there is an insufficient number of installer available to satisfy this imminent demand.”

Chevron Training has developed a specific Digital TV installer training course which provides the necessary skills to complete Saorview installations. For further information about this course please call 1890 252 647 or visit www.chevrontraining.ie
