Quick Answer: What Is Saorsat and How Does It Work in 2026?
Saorsat is the free satellite television service designed for the 2% of Irish homes that cannot receive terrestrial Saorview coverage due to hills or valleys. Broadcast via Eutelsat 9B (9°E) using Ka-band frequency, it requires a specialized Ka-band LNB on an 80cm dish. It carries RTÉ One, RTÉ2, TG4, and RTÉ News, but lacks Virgin Media channels. Most rural homes now prefer high-speed IPTV streaming over Starlink or National Broadband Ireland (NBI).
