1 Saorview is a tv distribution service. It can be accessed by insertin a suitable terrestial aerial into the back of (a) a TV or (b) a set-top box, which in turn is connected to a TV. The box can be placed anywhere, as long as it is connected by the correct cable to a TV.

2. The Saorview channels are "stored" in the TV if you get/have a Saorview approved TV.You will need 1 RC. The signal is "stored" in the set-top box if you go that route. In this case it and the TV will have their own RC, so a total of 2.

Possibly. And definitely if there are residents who want to watch different channels. Have a good read of this complete forum. There are various ways of wiring up a place to accomodate the householders wishes.

If you want to be able to watch different channels in different rooms at the same time, then you'll definetly need either a Saorview set top box or Saorview TV for each location.

As stated above by another poster, there are various ways of wiring/setting systems up to suit how any given family or household operates. It all depends what exactly you require from the system.

OP, you mentioned that you have a remote for Sky. If you have Sky you don't need to worry about Saorview, you can continue to get the Irish channels from Sky.

Saorview is for people who currently get their TV via an aerial, everyone else (satellite and cable) is unaffected.
