Did a quick search on the net, the TV appeared about 2008 and should have an MPEG-4 video decoder compatible with Saorview.

Is that because its got DVB-T in the spec as I didnt see any reference to MPEG-4 in the documentation?

Cheers.

I came across the TV on a French website and it mentioned MPEG-4 decoding. The only way to be certain is to attach an aerial and see if it can receive the Saorview channels with audio and video. A non compatible set will give you audio only with the channels listed in the epg.

As far as I recall the D range is MPEG2 only, whilst the H range is the High Definition Tuner (MPEG4 AVC/H264)

D Series

H Series
