Saorview Mux II should be on channel 56 Kieran, not 57.
It's rumoured on Boards.ie that some services could start in the new year i.e. start of 2014. RTE One HD for example.

"You don't need to turn on the TV to listen to the radio through a Freeview or satellite box".
Sorry, you've lost me here Mark. I know of know portable radios that receive Freeview Radio.
Sky did have the "gnome" a while back, but this has been discontinued for some time now
"Online listening doesn't need a computer. Lots of people listen via a mobile or a wi-fi radio."
Well, that would depend on your data allowance (I presume your talking about mobile smart phones and tablets) and WiFi requires a broadband signal somewhere along the line.
I still think a terrestrial signal of some sort is the best way to replace AM/FM, whether it be DAB, DAB+, DRM, or DRM+
At the moment DAB appears to be the only option.
Portable radios running of a subscription free 3G or 4G signal seems a long way off.

The last time Saorview Mux 2 was testing from CC it used channel 56, not 57 Kieran..

No programmes as yet Conor, just EPG data.
Looks like something's going to happen soon, hopefully.

Thanks Brian.
According to boards.ie it does fire up periodically, but I haven't seen anything since January.
There's speculation it may start in the new year with RTE One HD etc.

Yep, you can tune STV in manually on Sky and on non Freesat mode in Scotland Brian, but it's not of either the Sky or Freesat EPGs.
Scottish Freesat viewers could key in a Sothern Scotland postcode for Freesat which would give them BBC 1 Scotland HD and ITV1 HD (probably Granada) with ITV 1 Border Scotland being on 103

Josh: They will be. UTV HD will be on channel 103 for viewrs with a Sky HD subscription, but channel 178 for those without:
a516digital: UTV HD launches on satellite in November
"In a surprise move, on Sky HD, UTV HD will replace the existing SD channel on 103: the first time a main PSB channel has had its SD channel substituted by the HD simulcast on any digital TV platform. Sky HD subscribers will see the standard definition version move to channel 178. The exception will be viewers that have a Sky HD box without a relevant subscription, where the SD channel will remain on 103 and HD on 178"

Most people do not listen to the radio via the internet, satellite, or cable Trevor.
