    I am tempted to return my box. The only thing is I would miss the remote. It is very user friendly in comparison to the humax remote. It allows me to change hdmi source, control tv volume and power on/off tv at a button push - none of which the humax is able to do.

    Is the tiviar remote able for the above?

    Ya!
    I got my humax box for free so I am not too put out. One option is to stick with my humax and use the tv for saorview but the humax remote is a pain the way you have to switch back to tv mode to control the volume. It is also a very clunky long remote in the hand.

    So I may go for the tiviar.

    Get a Logitech Harmony instead then you can hide stuff away in cabinets or even in the next room

    Switched on the Connect box to watch the rugby and no picture. Sick of it.

    Put the aerial into the tv and added a hard drive and now I have full timeshift, something the Connect couldn't do.

    I have the hotkeys on my lg remote set so I can quickly switch between saorview on the tv and the humax box.
    Long press 1 - straight to rte 2
    Long press 2 - straight to the humax box.

    Where can I buy the tiviar?

    Frequency changed - you’ll need to manually add the required channels from this list... https://www.lyngsat.com/Astra-2E-2F-2G.html

    Aren't the suppliers of the box meant to do this?
    Another reason to avoid this box. I don't see them updating frequency changes promptly.

    I am using my tv for saorview now instead. Happy with it so far. I may stick with the freesat box as it is a great user experience. My watching of saorview is now only live sport and the odd other programme.

    They moved frequency months ago. Had a feeling this box wouldn't update sat freq changes quickly

    No. It is Saorview approved so frequency changes will happen automatically for that, but it is not a Freesat box, there was never any prospect of satellite frequencies being updated automatically.

    They can if they choose upload the changes to the online database so if the user runs the installation procedure again it is possible to update the satellite channel database . Walker have this feature on their current saorview approved combo box, its not 100% yet but I've been told it is being worked on.

    Launching 19th February

    May not be particularly appropriate to Saorview Connect thread ......but a 2RN test card is currently flashing intermittently a scrolling message "launching on 19th February"

    Anybody got any idea of the significance of this message?

    No news on Saorview website!

    So new beta update coming.

    Interesting point about an aerial and Internet connection being needed if connecting to a Satellite dish in the article on Saorview.ie

    https://www.saorview.ie/en/news

    Could an EPG be inbound?
    Please note that you will need an aerial, and an internet connection - either wired or wi-fi. If connecting to a satellite dish, two satellite connections available to the box will be needed. You will also need to connect an external USB hard drive to the box once the beta software is downloaded and the box has completed installation.

    "If connecting to a satellite dish, two satellite connections available to the box will be needed"

    Is this simply for the purpose of watching one channel and recording another?

    You would need an internet connection to download the software update.
