So presumably DVB T is OK, and if it does not say Freeview HD, it can be assumed it is not T2. If you want to get Freesat, you have to set your TV country to GB, otherwise you will get FTA Sat. If you set your TV to GB, then any specific SAORview settings will be lost, as they will only come into play if the country is Ireland. If you need SAORview you cannot get FREESAT.

I think I set it to UK settings for the auto set up, and not only did it sort the Irish DTT chanels on 100 to 106, but then followed another 40 or so of the Freeview UK channels (including radio) from the Presely transmitter (I assume - by the beach in Castletown, North Wexford). Really didn't expect the UK tv channels to be picked up so well, especially after having a free to air satellite installed a week previously - doh! Hopefully it'll pick up the Freeview HD channels as well - would be nice!

The Cush wrote: » Tuning is straightforward and automatic on installation - FTA satellite, DTT and analogue after country selection. Didn't use the UK setting so I would be unable guide you on freesat if you were to choose that option but that should also be straightforward having installed freesat receivers previously. PM me or post and I or others here will try to assist if you run into a problem. MHEG5 - see this post

I understand that I need to change my country region to UK with a relevant postcode to get DVB-S EPG, but in doing so. will I loose the DTT EPG for Ireland? Anybody any experience with this? Also is Maghera transmitting DTT on full power or is it still going out at a reduced level, I am only receiving intermittent picture just south west of Tralee. (In case you're wondering I was never able to get a signal from Mullaghanish).
