What do i need to look for in a TV

Bendihorse

I'm moving into a new place and want to buy a good tv. The apartment is plumbed for Sky already so has sat dish outside and cable into room. There is also a socket on the wall for a conventional TV plug (I haven't tested that to see if it works).

I don't want to pay a sky subscription, my plan is to have a smart TV that runs Saorview and Freeview without any external boxes. Are they two individual tuners that I need to look for in the TV? What are they called so I know what to look for?

I'm pretty sure this couldn't be the case but I'm going to ask the dumb question just incase...

I may end up buying off a UK site that wouldn't list an option for Saorview, does the fact that I want Saorview mean that I have to buy an Irish TV set or is saorview really just another generic tuner that I can request?

Many of the big brand manufacturers TVs will most likely have a tuner capable of Saorview reception whether Saorview approved or not.

Freeview is the Uk terrestrial TV service via an aerial, like Saorview here. Freesat or FTA satellite are the dish equivalents.
