Old Sky Box and Saorview

The Governor · 2014-03-01 20:28:18

Hi. I left Sky and am using the box for the free to air channels. I also want to be able to get the Saorview channels. What's the cheapest best quality SV box I can run alongside the Sky one? Or maybe a cheap box that combines both?

Ferguson Ariva 150. Will doe the job nicely. You can get it in Ireland for €99 and keep the VAT here. Alternatively you could get it from a polish site for a little cheaper.

Do you know if your TV will work with Saorview? What's the make & model?

That TV is on the Saorview approved list, so all you need to do for Saorview reception, is connect a suitable aerial. (Assuming your area is covered.)

The TV doesn't seem to have any recording ability though.
