    A Saorview approved TV should do the job, it has a DVB-T tuner with MPEG-4 video decoding for Saorview which is backwards compatible with the UK's MPEG-2 video decoding standard, it also does MHEG-5 for digital text and future interactive services.

    It you want to receive the 4/5 UK FreeviewHD channels (DVB-T2/MPEG-4 standard) when they launch across NI on Oct 24th next check the specs for DVB-T2. Some of the Saorview approved Sony TVs have a DVB-T2 tuner and others too I believe.
