3pm Intermittent picture/audio glitch affecting RTÉ One on Sky
One of our readers has flagged an intermittent technical glitch that has been affecting RTÉ One on the Sky platform for the last few weeks.
The picture will freeze momentarily and audio will be lost. Colour bars also often appear briefly before normal picture and audio are restored.
Now that we’ve captured evidence of the fault, it has been reported to 2RN for investigation.

BBC Three’s return to linear TV on 1st February also saw the introduction of new branding.
