Worth knowing

Homes across Northern Ireland can tune in RTÉ One, RTÉ2 and TG4, the Republic’s channels, on Freeview as well.

Language figures

Northern Ireland ran its own census on different dates and questions, so it is not in the England and Wales language tables used on our language pages.

More questions

Which BBC One and ITV1 do you get in Northern Ireland?
BBC Northern Ireland (BBC Newsline) on BBC One, and UTV on ITV1, depending on which transmitter your aerial faces. Homes across Northern Ireland can tune in RTÉ One, RTÉ2 and TG4, the Republic’s channels, on Freeview as well.
Can I watch my local clubs live?
Most games of Linfield, Glentoran, Cliftonville and the rest are shown on the channels that hold the rights, apart from Saturday 3pm kick-offs, which nobody in the UK may show live. The list on this page gives each game’s UK channel.
Does IPTV work in rural parts of Northern Ireland?
It needs broadband rather than an aerial, so it works wherever your line manages about 10 Mbps for each screen in use. Try the free 24-hour trial at your usual viewing times before paying.
