TV's working with Saorview - The List

championc

[size=+2]If your TV has sound but No Pictures - it's then a UK Freeview TV and your TV will NEVER work with Irish Digital and you'll need a Set Top Box or new TV with an MPEG-4 Tuner[/size]

I'll start things off and will update as others post details of working models below. We'll take a working model as one which has now sucessfully scanned in 3e - yes ? Also, please confirm in your reply posts if MHEG-5 is working too.

[size=+1]What is MHEG5[/size]

It’s a replacement for Teletext, with pictures and video optionally in the pages of text which should be much faster to load than old TVs. On RTE, the current program continues to be displayed in a window to the right of the Text Service. It does a lot more (potentially) than simply pretty text. “mainly” is the important word. It gives interactive access to Hidden video streams (e.g. BBC Red Button). Allows quizzes, access to information on ethernet port, More featured interactive Program guide than basic DVB program information, text with embedded video or changing images. Also can manage Over The Air firmware updates. (OTA).

All current philips models excluding the 3000 series basic non mpeg4 version - not available anymore -

Given the main bulk of the philips units all support mpeg four and ive seen at least one from each series i think there a safe bet - For best functionality set to UK and upgrade the firmware - MHEG5 compatable with digital teletext and EPG functional -

Confirm your models and I'll try and keep up and update the list above.

Sony 40ex403 freeview hd

The list should indicate if MHEG5 works or not. It might be used for interactive selction menu of extra sports video for Olympics? Like BBC does for Wimbledon.

Samsung:
Samsung LE46652 Freeview HD as stocked by Curries..... MHEG also perfect.
I recently purchased this tv

Championc, you will only be able to edit this thread for another week and after thata mod will have to do it.

Hannspree Models.

SVxxnn series have Mpeg4 and MHEG5
SJxxnn series have Mpeg4 and MHEG5
STxxnn series , neither of those, will not work.

My LG 32LH3000 works fine with mheg, I think all xxLH series have the mpeg4/mheg tuners

L1011

The three I have at home are all coming up towards a year or more old now, so unlikely to be in many retailers, but anyway:

LG 26LG3100, MPEG4 and MHEG5
Samsung Syncmaster 2033HD LS20CFVKF/EN MPEG 4 no MHEG5 (With the regional settings I have, possibly)
Samsung Syncmaster T200HD LS20TDVSUV/EN MPEG4 no MHEG5 (at all)

What's the best way to check that MHEG5 is working?

PS: Shouldn't this list be a sticky?

Just run the teletext on rte1. You should notice the difference, the video will be in the corner.

I have a Philips 42PFL9803H. This is also compatible with Saorview. However, it will not allow an MPEG4 digital scan for channels if set for Ireland or the UK, so to receive the Saorview channels you must pick yopur country as either Norway, France or Italy. This will work, but it will make your TV display the wrong timezone (which can't be changed manually on this model).

At the moment, Italy is the best choice on this TV as it puts the channels in the correct order.

L1011

Is Portugal an option, out of interest? Only other country in Europe with our timezone that isn't the UK.

Thanks for the link. I think I'll get a 32 inch altogether. What's the cheapest 32" flat screen, wall mountable hd tv you could get with mpeg 4 and mheg 5? I have about €200 to spend, but i could probably stretch that out over christmas. Sorry to annoying everyone. If this is spoiling the thread, please delete it.
