    Moved to terrestrial.

    You can get Freeview if you live near the border or in some areas along the east coast and have a good enough roof-top aerial.

    You will be able to get Saorview if the TV has an MPEG-4 tuner (if it is marketed as receiving "Freeview HD" it will have one.) Otherwise yes you will need a Saorview set top box.

    Different video compression standard, Saorview is MPEG-4 and Freeview uses the older MPEG-2.
