DTT Compatible Digital TV Receivers

Hi Guys
Does anyone know of any relatively cheap
digital tv receivers that will work with RTE's
new digital service?
I was looking at the
SIGMATEK DVBR-162 HDMI Digital TV Receiver


on

Would it work?
Thanks:)

It does not have an MPEG 4 HD decoder as far as I can see, and does not have the French TNT HD logo.

So NO

sigmatek dvbr-520 hd - €59 in Pixmania will work.

Thanks guys
So when looking for a decoder it must have MPEG4 decoder
and the TNT HD symbol.
Does it necessarily have to have an MPEG4 HD decoder or just
an MPEG4 decoder?

Must be able to handle MPEG4 HD, also probably will need to handle AAC audio at some stage.

TNT HD is now a "bad idea" as that uses MHP, not MHEG5. Better to look for "Freeview HD", which is MPEG4, HD, MHEG5 and DVB-T2 (backward compatible to DVB-T).

You need MPEG4 HD as minimum see http://www.techtir.ie/saorview/preliminary
