So I flicked over at 1pm to watch the RTE news as usual. Met with a black screen and the This Programme Is Not Available.

Never happened before, is it on Sky???

I am assuming it is okay on Freeview etc.

    Yes, Neighbours, Home and Away(never watch either), get blocked. But I was thinking something weird had happened and the CIA didn't want me watching the lunchtime news:D
