That depends where in the Republic you live though. A few years back I stayed in a hotel in Rosslare after coming off the ferry and the hotel had this strange TV setup which had about 9 channels, including CNN. We got BBC and ITV Wales in the hotel. They must have had some Freeview overspill from South Wales, but I am puzzled as to why CNN was on there. I also vaguely remember they had BBC News 24, but I don't remember any other channels. As for satellite/cable, most of my street have satellite dishes up. A friend of mine told me that in the towns and cities people tend to have UPC (especially in blocks of flats or inner city properties where they mightn't be allowed dishes) and satellite in the suburbs/rural areas.
