HDTV UK: Ireland airs its first HD broadcast on terrestrial TV:

While the game might not have been a classic, last Sunday’s Leinster Football final in Dublin was a momentous occasion in the history of Ireland’s HDTV evolution – the game was the first Irish terrestrial broadcast to be shown in high-definition.

HDTV is available via satellite in Ireland but this game marked the first time an HDTV broadcast was transmitted from a digital terrestrial network in Ireland. And, from today, a selection of HDTV programming will be available on a trial using the digital terrestrial TV network in preparation for the eventual analogue to digital switchover.
