Apart from a few lucky places with big aeriels in the North East you wont be picking up any UK channels with this tv. You'll need to hook it up to a sattelite box and put a dish on the wall to get BBC etc.

I'm in East Donegal. I have a sky satellite box and dish to receive uk freeview at the minute. I was hoping a new tv would remove the sky box and be built in. Ah well! Thanks

How do these guys usually deliver? I'm wondering if its an address problem, trying to get it sent to work...

Thargor · 26-02-2014 08:13PM

I think DHL is their courier.

cfeeneyinterior · 26-02-2014 08:30PM

Cheers OP, bought 2

Zascar · 26-02-2014 08:31PM

Got it, billing and delivery addresses need to be the same.

Cheers OP - I've been dying to buy a decent TV for ages - happy with this!

There are definitely tvs out there that do that, usually pricey though.

I'm soooo tempted my samsung has the dreaded lines going down the screen really noticeable watching footy.
But want to get my hands on a later series (me being a greedy bugger)

MrStuffins · 26-02-2014 09:22PM

Was threatening to get a new TV for a while but opted for a laptop just last week.

Saw this deal today and had to pull the trigger though! Glad I did too

banaco73 · 26-02-2014 09:25PM

Just purchased mine tx to all for comments and help

Zardoz · 26-02-2014 09:26PM

I wonder will RTE Player and 3 Player be on the web portal on the tv seeing as its an Eastern European model ?

Thargor · 26-02-2014 09:52PM

You can change it to Ireland in the settings and install any apps you like from Samsungs appstore thing.

liam12989 · 26-02-2014 09:55PM

im nearly sold on this, anybody see any cons to this?

I want it to have the normal irish freeview channels (dont want to use a soirview box aswell) and they hook up my sky box

any advise withing next 30mins would be great:o

Will Ireland be an option though ?
I bought a Panasonic Smart tv off Ibood last year and you could only select mainland Europe and Eastern European countries in the settings .

Thargor · 26-02-2014 09:59PM

Do you have a Sky subscription to go with that box or are you just using it to get the free BBC/Ch4 etc channels?

If you're subscribed to Sky then you should get RTE etc on the Skybox along with the UK channels so just hook it up.

If not you'll be watching the Irish channels in TV mode then you'll have to hit Input and select AV or HDMI to watch the UK channels on the Skybox.

I assume you will, I have Ireland as an option on a German LG I bought from Amazon.de. The RTE and 3Player apps should be installable anyway whatever happens.

Arrrggghhh, I'm tempted by this but it would be for the bedroom and my main brief is full HD with smart functionality (I have a non-subscription Sky box there). I was already considering 22"-32" (at the very biggest, leaning more towards 22-24"), but this doesn't work out a lot more expensive...Someone help me decide!

If you can get a 40 inch tv for similar to a 32 inch buy it .
I dont understand people saying a tv will be too big for them,a 32 inch tv is small nowadays and you quickly adjust to a larger set ,after a few months it looks small.

The new 2014 smart tvs will soon hit the shelves, so expect more deals on 2013 models. End of February and March is the best time of the year for buying a tv.

Do they actually need a smart tv? If not, then have a look here:http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/5298374/c_1/2%7Ccategory_root%7CHome+entertainment+and+sat+nav%7C14419512/c_2/3%7C19805484%7CClearance+Home+entertainment+and+sat+nav%7C14520847/c_3/4%7Ccat_14520847%7CTelevisions%7C25096549.htm?Price+Cut=1

i suspect this would prove to be a disappointing purchase, with zero resale value.
