does the 40" & 43" have a freesat & Saorview tuner?

I had a tv from a different brand and it crashed and hung when switching a channel from one tuner to the other.

Anything like this say switching from RTE to BBC

i get bad quality bbc channels from accross the border and saorview with it.
if i was bothered to get a decent antenna id get them all perfect.

the epg is a bit slow (only when opening and closing) but they improved it last update. other than that its as fast as any digital tv switching channels.

Can you put any app that you like on this tv? Showbox/kodi or similar apps?

hi i'm looking for a smart tv and this one looks very good for the price, just checking with anybody who has it can I get the Irish channels on this? I have a satellite dish and combi box at the moment

As far as I can see it doesn’t run Android so no Showbox. Doubt Kodi would run on it either unless there's a version built for whatever OS Hisense run which is doubtful.

The only smart TVs I've seen that run Showbox and Kodi natively are the ones that are based on the Android OS like the Sony TVs.

it has a little app store. not much on there really. lots of stuff from lots of random countries.

i use an android box with it at 4k60fps. everything is upscaled bar the stuff i have locally that doesnt play very well on the android box i have. the tv itself plays them better via the network but youd need to be all cabled up for 4k to work. it has an rj45 ethernet port if you want to do that.

your boxes have the decoders in them. any tv would work with set top boxes.
it does get saorview and freeview broadcast signals from air no problem though. dvbt2

sorry maybe i should've been clearer.

I ment switching between tuners say from BBC on Freesat to RTE on Saorview and vice versa.

IE would i get away without using my combi box which is showing its age at this stage.

Looking at the 55 inch 4k model ...would i be just going overboard paying 750stg for the hdr model or safe enough going for the 4k model for 529stg considering my internet speeds are just 12-15mbps at the minute ???

If you have the extra to futureproof? I don't think anyone streams HDR at the moment though?

Notice any difference?

vjmcdonnell · 28-10-2016 01:26PM

Been at work most of the week so will be giving it a good spin at the weekend.

Even before the update, its a lot to telly for the money.

cavan4sam · 28-10-2016 01:55PM

Good stuff I'll keep an eye here to see how ye get on

Suaimhneach · 28-10-2016 02:08PM

Also interested, seems like a great deal. Wondering how hard mounting it would be vs getting a stand for it.

Wisesmurf · 28-10-2016 02:20PM

its VESA compatible so any VESA mount that goes to the size of the backplate will fit. Richer Sounds mention a 200 x 200 VESA required for the 55". They're not heavy.

switching input? it has a huge on screen menu so thatll slow you.
the actual switching is almost instant its just the menu system that slows it.

The same as on any TV. it won't upscale afaik and if you watch 4K content and drop to SD definition you'll notice the difference.

What about using an Xbox 360 on this? Would it be playable? The only game I play is pes 2016 but the tv needs to be okay for this!

I thinking how would battlefield 1 look like on this, would it be a good to for gaming? One of the reviews on richer sounds for the HDR model suggests it is.
