    It's a Metronic Zapbox T2. I posted a thread on here with photos of the EPG in action for Irish and UK stations when I got it if you search for it.

    Don't think so. Looking at the link it's a Freeview+ recorder. It would want to be a FreeviewHD or a FreeviewHD+ device to work with Saorview.

    believe it I realised that when I saw the spec offered €50 to him for it just for the use of the hard drive. The purchaser had bought it from argos here and all these products are excluded from a money back guarantee and they cost over €300 new.

    Can't understand why argos in the ROI stock these boxes and not the freesat boxes...............makes no sense.

    Rubbish. Your statuary rights are unaffected. If it is sold for use in Ireland (rather than as an export model for the UK) it is mis sold and you are entitled for a full refund. If no mention is made otherwise it is reasonable to expect it is sold for use in Ireland.

    I thought by now retailers in Ireland had stopped selling unsuitable UK equipment. In seems I thought wrong.

    I wish it was true check out the link and read the details on this Lg model same goes for the Toshiba one as well.

    Sorry, what is not true? It clearly says on that link:

    "Additional Information

    Please note that this product is excluded from our 30 Day Money Back Guarantee. This does not affect your statutory rights."

    Even if the last sentence was not there, it would still apply. That is the law.

    Ah, sh**e, I'm mixing up the damn specs. Apologies to all.

    For anyone who can receive Freeview, the price on Amazon.co.uk is £200.
