    Free to Air satellite/Saorview/Netflix/Youtube

    Vestel based smart TVs from Walker/Toshiba

    24" - https://powercity.ie/groups/10/11/589
    28"-32" - https://powercity.ie/groups/10/12/603
    39"-43" - https://powercity.ie/groups/10/13/627,2447

    I would recommend Toshiba over Walker.

    All channels, both Saorview and Satellite, in a single list. Satellite channels start at 300. Satellite channels can be organised the way you want and backed up to USB, edited on a PC and shared with other Vestel based models. Smart TV models have one button Netflix access.

    The Tiviar Alpha+ plus comes highly recommended available on various websites and gives you the nearest functionality to S*y+. NOt so easy for IPTV but it is doable.

    Check out these two forums here on boards:


    Cost-Effective, High-Functionality, User-Friendly Replacement for Pay TV

    Tiviar Alpha Plus Combo STB

    They give you lots of information and even an image you can easily use to get the best out of the box. Well worth taking a look.

    Amiko as a brand are quite good, I have 2 of the older models and both are very reliable.

    The models I have are the A3 + A4 combo models and both perform the 3 functions that you are looking for quite well

    Not sure what you mean, you might be looking at the amiko A3 model which has Lnb connector only for satellite (fta)

    The Amiko A3 combo has both LNB connector and coax connector for Saorview as well as android/ spark built in
