[00:07:53] TEST CARD: the weeks leading up to launch were the only time that a test card was in regular use on Teilifís na Gaeilge or indeed its successor TG 4.
We suspect this engineering test (everything in the clip prior to the appearance of the test card) was generated at the main transmitter site at Truskmore in Sligo.
The test card was broadcast on the national feed of Teilifís na Gaeilge.
