    Hi all,

    I'm currently on the lookout for a bedroom TV for a friend who has UPC. Can some please tell me the difference between the tuner in these TVs please? Both appear to be almost the same model except for the 'KXXU' in the model number. The one on Amazon is €50 cheaper which I'm inclined to go for. Would it pick up Saorview Channels or are the models sold in Ireland and the UK completely different?


    Samsung UE32EH5000KXXU (Referred to as a Saorview TV)

    Samsung UE32EH5000 (Referred to as a Freeview TV)


    All feedback appreciated thanks :D

    Amazon one will definitely pick up Saorview as well as Freeview as it has an inbuilt Freeview HD tuner.

    I'd be very surprised if they both aren't exactly the same model no., if the Amazon one isn't also KXXU.

    I've just purchased a 40 inch Samsung (5 Series) from Amazon too, saved 50 Euro on the DID/Powercity price and will have it delivered to work for free. Just hope i can fit it into the Corsa.. will report any issues with Saorview but dont envisage any.
