    You had best link to the device you have, because a quick look by me indicated it is a satellite receiver and not a terrestrial broadcast receiver, so would not receive either Saorview or Freeview.

    It's a satellite receiver, so connected to a dish you will get BBC, ITV, C4 etc but RTE is not free to air on satellite, so you will need a Saorview TV or box connected to an aerial to receive Irish channels.

    The Triax SR110 is a satellite receiver and therefore will receive Free to Air satellite channels when cabled to a satellite dish that is set up correctly.

    Saorview channels are not available Free to Air on the Astra satellite, where the likes of BBC and ITV channels are found.
    So yes it is capable of getting BBC and ITV etc but not Saorview at the same time.

    It seems to be an old receiver, with Scart but not HDMI.
