TV Compatible with Saorview?

Tarquin1970

Recently bought a Sony KDL-32EX713 with built in Freeview HD tuner, and am just wondering now if this will be compatible with Saorview and if so what else I'll need aerial-wise, as apparently I don't need a dish or STB. It's a replacement of the KDL-32EX703, here's some of the spec:

Digital Terrestrial Tuner (MPEG-2)
YES (DVB-T2/T)
Digital TV Cable Tuner (with supported operators)
DVB-C
CI+ Ready (with supported operators)
YES
High Definition TV Tuner (MPEG-4) - H.264 (with supported operators)
YES
Channel Coverage CATV
S1-S20
Channel Coverage HYPER
S21-S41
Channel Coverage UHF
E21-E69
Channel Coverage VHF
E2-E12

Many thanks for your witty reply. Question is "is it compatible with Saorview?". It's perfectly fine with UPC but what aerial would be needed to pick up freeview/Saorview?

Is it compatible with Saorview? Probably, yes.
DVB-T2 means it does DVB-T, HD, MPEG4 and MHEG5 as practically only UK "Freeview HD" uses DVB-T2*
CI+ means it does MHEG5 (usually)


P.S.
UPC Ireland is NOT "supported operator" for DVB-c
