    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.

    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.

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

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

    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! :D

    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.
