Query: Powercity - exclusive supply of TVs with dual tuner (Saorview + Freesat)

    I am in the market for new TV, ideally:

    32''
    Smart TV
    Saorview Approved
    Integrated Satellite Tuner

    From my research, it would appear that Powercity have exclusive supply of dual tuner tvs (integrated saorview + freesat satellite tuner), while most shops only offer saorview tvs without satellite tuner.

    Example tv:

    However, when I google the tv model number, other suppliers appear to supply this tv but no mention of the freesat tuner.

    Can anyone shed light if powercity have a special supply chain on dual tuner tvs?

    No, Powercity do not have an exclusive on TVs with satellite tuners: the same model no. will have the same spec. wherever you buy it, even though the seller mightn't make a big deal of the satellite reception capability.

    Freesat is a brand, BTW, basically some add-on features to basic UK free-to-air satellite, most importantly a proper EPG (the channels themselves only broadcast with now-&-next programme info.). Freesat features can only be accessed by Freesat branded equipment: current Freesat TVs are listed here.

    Powercity do not appear to sell Samsung any more. I wonder why?
