Not once in my 40 odd years have I bought the RTE guide.
I think my mum did up until a few years ago.
The same age old ritual of circling a bunch of stuff to watch for the few days around christmas… Then she realised just about everything she wanted to watch is OD services and live TV is pointless for most people.
No, not for many years now.
God it was great, going through it to see what the Christmas movie was and being excited because RTE didn’t play ads on Christmas day, is that still a thing?
For some reason they stopped putting “Bill Cosby’s Winning Formula” in it and I haven’t bought it since
I Bet it’s the Boomers that still Buy it
That’s still made/sold 😱😱😱?!?!
Of course not
Got rid of sky and was given a dodgy box so am gonna need one this year
Yes! I buy it just at Christmas, mainly to see what’s on BBC as I rarely watch Rte. Its fun to get out the highlighter and circle what I want to watch, even though I know most of it is on demand or I’ve seen it already on Sky. For me (in my 40s) it’s part of Christmas.
It was nearly a fiver! I won’t next Christmas
Bottom middle pic is peak boom RTE
Don’t even have a tv service so there’d be no point. I wouldn’t mind having an aerial installed (you don’t want to watch a World Cup on RTÉ Player) but it’s very low down the list of priorities.
Only for the articles.
No, it’s had its day.
Yes and don’t forget the Irelands Own.
We do, just for old times sake. Some good stuff otherwise that I’d miss, usually late at night. At least two of those covers are from St. Patrick’s Day though
I don’t pay the licence so I probably shouldn’t
Never heard of it
Hell no, don’t need more junk in the gaf.
Absolutely. It’s a tradition more than anything at this point but I enjoy flicking through it every year.
I assume it’s pitched at the elderly while Reddit isn’t.

I have never once bought the RTE guide.
Only for the Marty Morrissey spreads 🔥 🥵
Buying that is enabling incest
Fuck NO
Absolutely not
