Dual Tuner TV - Saorview and Satellite (inbuilt) query

oraiste

I am considering purchasing a new TV and would like to have a dual built-in tuner that allows both Saorview and Satellite channels to be tuned in.

I have found a number of TVs on the Argos website that suggests that Saorview and Freeview are available on the TV. For example:

http://www.argos.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10152&catalogId=14551&langId=111&productId=344990

Does anyone know if this TV can tune in both sets of channels if connected to dish and aerial?

I would like the TV to be 32'', LED and decent manufactuer.

I have also found a TV in powercity with this type of dual tuner but am concerned about the quality of the TV:

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Freeview is uk digital terrestrial TV like our Saorview service with an aerial, unless you live close to the border or east coast and can receive the Freeview signal from a UK transmitter you won't get the Freeview channels.

If not a TV with Saorview and a Freesat/free-to-air satellite receiver is what you require.

Walker have 3/4 models, Samsung have a range with both (UXXU models) , LG/Toshiba also.

Be aware that FreeView refers to the UK terrestrial system using an ordinary aerial and will only be available if you are within range of a Welsh or NI transmitter.
FreeSat or Free-To-Air(FTA) satellite gives the UK channels all over the country

Would go for Samsung which will take both if it is your main TV also, Walker is only 720p which is not quite HD as most broadcast in 1080.
so go for name if only for kitchen /bedroom Walker is fine
