    Is there a TV (32 or 37 inch) TV with build in Saorview and Freesat Tuner? Preferable HD, not just "HD Ready"

    Be aware though that switching between the Saorview and Freesat tuners is not elegant, requiring a few button pushes on the remote. Also, by accessing Freesat, you are effectively treating the TV as being in the UK, so the Saorview channels will appear all over the place in the 800s.

    Furthermore, in UK mode, the subtitles won't work on Saorview channels.

    If you set up the TV in Irish mode, Saorview EPG listings will appear in full, with correct channel number placement and subtitles, but you will lose the Freesat listings. You can still access all the available satellite channels, but you will have to order them to your own liking and they will display Now+Next only.

    Your choice!

    Thank you StreetLight
    Yeah, that does sound a bit messy. My old Techomate 9600 would let you place channels in any order you wanted , all on the same EPG but unfortunately EPG for terrestrial was only now and next.
