    Is there a combined satellite dish or aerial that is able to receive both saorview and freeview UK?

    I have a Samsung UE55NU7400 which has both Irish and UK freeview decoders. I live in Cork City and currently don't have any source for saorview. Was thinking of getting an indoor aerial but might go a bit extra and get one capable of finding the UK channels too.

    Freeview is only available in UK (with a bit of overspill for Eastern and northern ROI.

    What you need is a Satellite dish to receive Free to Air satellite signals and also an aerial to receive ROI terrestrial FTA broadcasts (Saorview).

    If your TV only has a DVB-T receiver (Saorview) and not a second DVB-S receiver (Satellite), you need a suitable set top box holding the receivers and displaying on the TV.
