theR Digital (Earth)
On January 4th, 2009, theR created a digital service for the United Kingdom. Later, theR announced they would be planning to activate theR Digital to the United States on June 12th, but was pushed to September 25th. On January 1st, 2010, theR claimed that all services to, and all antennas that held theR Digital would cease transmission in the United States and would only operate on cable networks, but would continue services to the United Kingdom. In 2022, they launched additional tentative digital channels in Australia and Matoranesia. Despite this, services to Matoranesia were quickly dropped one week later due to complaints of people in Nova Fresia recieving the signal when theR claimed they "jammed" it. Another primary reason was that it didn't fit with their main analog transmitters. Today, theR Digital only airs in Australia and the United Kingdom.

theR Digital (Terranil)
The Terranil division of theR Digital was launched in 1986 as the "first digital channel in the Republic of Wilson", according to its chairman at the time, Zed Bush. The channel was an instant failure but still managed to air for a long time. On December 23rd, 2022, theR CEO Redd Barton announced the channel would cease transmission by January 7th at midnight. The final program to air on the digital channel was an episode of Cindi and Friends, followed by a commercial for Mint Mobile.

RTV
This was the Braceletvillian branch of theR, launched in 1965. The network aired normal theR programming. Following the Catastrophe of the Republic of Wilson, the network was restricted for a few cable services in 2011, and due to Braceletville's collapse, the network ultimately ceased in August 2022.
