Sound and no pictures indicates it's not MPEG-4.

Not possible to software upgrade them for MPEG-4, separate STB required to view the Saorview channels.

Philips sets that are MPEG4 capable have an H in the model number. A D signifies MPEG 2 only.

If they are newish you should be able to return them as not suitable for use in Ireland. There is a thread on this somewhere by Watty.
