The RNTR used to be funded through an outright television (and radio) license, and had since all the way back in the 30's - but in 2008, this was changed to a much more Haltendish way of doing things. Now the fee is collected through electricity bills - regardless, as some bemoan, of if you actually have a device which can actually access RNTR services.

On the subject of advertising, the RNTR do not run commercials.

The DTT service in Rivland was first launched in 2003 following a few "test flights" held throughout 2000-2002. The service was originally planned to be called Nstaci (Insta-See) - this was dropped when people realized that 1. no one would ever remember how it was spelt and 2. that it would age poorly. After an intense brainstorming session, the name digivolved into Digivue.
