No - It is a terrestrial receiver, not satellite - it will take an aerial input,

Thanks for replying. Will have to return it so.

Below seems to be the only approved saorview satellite box on the market. It seems quite expensive.

Would the below box give you the same Irish & UK channels if connected to dish?

No, that box is for use with an aerial so unless you live close to the NI border you won't get any channels. You won't get satellite channels.

This combi terrestrial satellite is recommended by people here on boards

Seems to be a bit of confusion here.

SaorView can be picked up with an "old style" tv aerial. SaorSat needs a satellite dish.

SaorView with an aerial - the aerial needs to be pointed in the right direction, most newish tv.'s can decode the signal. SaorSat needs a dish pointed at Eutelsat 9, and needs a different LNB to what your Sky/FreeSat dish uses. SaorSat is on a completely different set of satellites than FreeSat/Sky.

A receiver combi box can take satellite and aerial signals in, and then you can use the one receiver for all your satellite and terrestrial signals. I've used Amiko Combo Receiver boxes(I think Edison boxes are the same) for this for years - very simple, cheap box. Not a lot of fancy stuff on it - does the job.

If you are in an area where you can use an aerial for SaorView, its a much easier option(in my opinion).

Thanks for the response. . If i buy an amiko combo receiver box can i get both saorview and free sat channels in one list using the dish connections. Is that possible? Or is that what you are saying above that its not. I cant use the saorview aerial as it at back of tv and would have wire runnning down wall to connect to box.

What i am trying to achieve is one list of irish and uk channels pre programmed .

Thanks again

On the back of the Amiko combo receiver there are connections for both a satellite dish and a terrestrial aerial. When everything is connected, and correctly aligned, you can tune in the satellite channels, and Saorview channels. Everything will appear in a long list, but you can sort it out into a Favourites list, Saorview list, Satellite List, etc.

Just to help a bit further if you buy the box from here it will come pre programmed with UK channels and all you have to do is scan SAORVIEW.
