Is the Sony KDL-42W705B Saorview compatible. It is not Saorview approved but is DVB-T and DVB-T2 compatible. I'm 99% sure it is compatible.

Even though not on the Saorview approved list it has the required MPEG-4 video decoder for the Irish DTT channels, so no problems there.

This can happen if the TV is setup using UK as the country during installation.

I have 2010 W5800, no problems with teletext or subtitles. A 2008 V4500 has no problems with the traditional teletext or subtitles but won't display MHEG-5 Aertel.
