You need a dish for Freesat. I thought that Freeview was only available near the border.

OK freeeview seems impossible for me... so does i get any channels from UPC socket splitter having TV output ?

Only if you have a UPC box and subscription.

The dealz aerial for 1.50 works fine for most Dublin areas within site of 3 rock.
bear in mind the saorview receiver is only SD, so the picture off tv3 is muck. Others are ok.

Presumably you only got Irish channels which you probably would have got just by sticking a lead into the aerial socket on the back of the TV.
Get an FTA satellite box and dish, reasonably cheap and easy to set up. Available in SD or HD.

a little info:

All new TVs sold in Ireland legally have to have Saorview as far as I know.

there are lots ot tvs sold in ireland with no saorview. (lots of people don't need it)

1-saorview approved tv: 10 stations + radio + teletext + will work with any new features that might be added in the future eg red button interactive services
2-freeview HD: 10 stations + radio
3-freeview: sound but no pictures = NO stations
a lot of tv labeled freeview are in fact freeviewHD and may well be saorview approved, check the model number on saorviews website.

for the 10 irish stations you need a saorview/freeviewHD tv or set top box and an aerial.*
for english stations you need a freeSAT tv or set top box and a satellite dish.
freeview is not broadcast in ireland and can only be picked up in a few areas eg along the border.
*dont know about upc.

This tv is very cheap and its not a brand i'd recommend BUT if this is your budget you'll do a lot of looking before you get more bang for your buck.
Great for the price.

No they are only coming in analogue mode when i use a lead from UPC...nothing with aerial i got for soarview...so probably something to do with UPC...it has discovery,mtv,all soarview channels,sky news,nick etc...

Discodog · 25-06-2015 7:23pm

So I decided to go for it & I am pleasantly surprised. This tv is much better than I expected.

If anyone here has a raspberry pi with Kodi on it enable HDMI-CEC in the settings menu to control Kodi with the TV's remote, Such a great feature to have. (Also works to pause/play from chromecast)

This TV is the best thing I've gotten off B.A it really exceeded my expectations so thanks again to the O.P.

I have the older model B with 512mb of RAM with OpenELEC running on it, I had it set to the default settings for a while and it ran well, it would sometimes slow down a little tho so I decided to overclock the pi to the high overclock settings and it flys along! I have no lag on it at all now.

I'm planning on getting the Rpi 2 which has double the RAM and a quad core CPU so I would imagine that will run Kodi even faster again, I had an Android box myself and the only thing I wanted it for was Kodi and it just kept on crashing and I eventually ended up rooting it and removing almost all the apps on it just so there were less services and apps running in the background which slowed down Kodi, Overall if your planning on using it just for Kodi your better off getting the pi 2 but if your going for an Android box I'd recommend getting a fire TV stick which according to reviews runs Kodi well and is a similar price to the pi 2.

Hope that helps

tharmor · 03-07-2015 4:56pm

i will get the amazon fire stick then !! Thanks

Connected this up yesterday, threw a Chromecast in it am and very impressed with it. Any suggestions on a small soundbar as sound is definitely a little lacking? The reason I say "small" is I'm probably going to wall-mount it as well so potentially something to clip somewhere on it or a bracket.

I can't speak for this specific model but I've never been able to find a SKY, UPC, One-for-All or any other remote code for my Bush 39" (LC-39GL12F). I've searched extensively online and with both Bush* and Sky customer support. *Bush is a Home Retail Group brand (Argos, Homebase etc.) since 2008.
