    Connected an aerial to my Sony tv today so I could tune in saorview.

    Picked up 18 channels, sound is fine but no picture.

    The aerial is the one I used to pick up tv3 and tg4. Thought it would work, could thus be tge problem ?

    Your TV is probably MPEG2 , You need MPEG4 for Saorview, Sound no pictures indicates this !

    IMO You will need a Set Top Box

    Check the specifications page in the TV manual for
    Digital: MPEG-2 MP@ML/HL, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC MP/HP@L4

    Its important to ascertain when you bought your TV - if you bought it in the last two years you could be entitled to a refund, if it is not MPEG4

    TV about 4-5 years old, mpeg2 I'm afraid.

    In that case you will need to buy a set top box - available for around 60 euro
