    hi, plz mods move if in wrong place,

    i tuned in a saorview box today at my mothers house ( in the kitchen)when i finishd the scan i had the 8 irish tv channels and all the itv and bbc c5 and the +'s of some of them, then i went to the living room and re scanned the saorviw built in tv and got the same, is this normal or just a stroke of luck,

    Chances are your mother has an aerial pointing at Wales since the analogue days. Saorview boxes/TVs can display FreeView channels but may not be fully compatible. It is less likely to tune in the FreeView HD channels as they use DVB-T2. If you had the UK analogue channels before now you stand a very good chance of getting FreeView as well.
    It should be noted that the unusual weather of recent days meant that the UK channels were stronger than usual.
