    There's no guarantee any kind of indoor aerial will work for Saorview. Placing it near a window facing your transmitter of choice is usually the best hope.

    I assume you have no access to an outdoor aerial or a satellite dish? I'd be pretty sure that TV has a satellite tuner too.

    Yeah, hook up a cable from the sat. dish to the relevant connector on the TV, & you'll get whatever channels are FTA.

    It's a Freesat TV as well, so setting up with UK as country will get you the Freesat programme guide.

    Make sure you are pointing in the right direction. Preferably through a window rather than through a wall. Foil insulation in walls kills off most signals, wifi, tv mobile phone.

    If in Dublin try both Kippure (west) and Three Rock (east) , also try locations near yours in case there's another transmitter.

    check coverage patterns from local transmitter
