    So I have a sharp LC-37X20E. The person I bougbt it from confirmed it is saorview compatible but can't seem to set it up.
    Am I supposed to receive channels by connecting the TV to the UPC outlet box in wall? I tried that and do not pick up anything. Would I need an indoor aerial?
    I live in Ringsend if that makes any difference

    You need an aerial for Saorview , it's a terrestrial transmission.

    No, you need an outdoor aerial. Indoor ones only work in about 5% of cases.

    An indoor or attic aerial may or may not work, depends on what the Saorview signal like where you locate the aerial, only you can determine this. The transmission network recommend an outdoor aerial.
    Can I Use An Indoor Portable Aerial, Rabbits Ears?

    RTÉNL does not recommend the use of indoor portable aerials. They are too susceptible to localised physical and electrical interference. Terrestrial transmission of television, analogue and digital, is designed and built around rooftop reception.

    It will be possible for over 50% of the population to receive SAORVIEW with an indoor portable aerial. However on a house to house basis there are many factors than impact on the effectiveness of a portable aerial. For example the orientation of your house, the location of the television in the house, the construction materials, the insulation materials, the proximity to neighbouring houses, walls and obstructions will all impact reception.

    An outdoor aerial, positioned as high as possible, pointing towards the appropriate transmission site, with no local obstructions is recommended and will give the best results.
