Saorview not working.

    My boss asked me to recommend him a TV I told him to get the SAMSUNG 58" 4K UHD SMART SAORVIEW TV as he wanted to stick with Samsung.

    https://powercity.ie/product/58MU6120

    Now I can only get 5 channels on it and they are fuzzy. I assume that is an ariel problem?

    It says it has saorview and saorview record. Is this the same as the connect? or do I have to buy a box for it?

    Thanks for your help,

    Dan.

    What 5 channels are you getting?

    What kind of aerial are you using and where is it positioned?

    check connection on end of aerial cable are secure going in to tv, other than that it's likely the aerial needing repositioning or replacing.

    It wont be fuzzy if its a signal problem. It'll be blocky.

    Theres an inbuilt signal meter on the Samsungs. What are the readings like ?

    No TG4 or TV3 ?

    If you are near the border are you sure the aerial is pointing at an ROI transmitter ?

    You should see channels from the North though.

    Thanks for all your suggestions. We found that there was a sky dish and hooked up a free sat box to that.

    Thanks again.
