I have not used saorview but I do know it not on the Astra/freesat satellites... Just so you are aware, its not a 'Freesat' receiver' as such, as in it does not use the freesat EPG. It receives all sat channels on astra and freesat channels are among them but the order is all over the place... So you will need to make a favorite list set to the order of freesat yourself (in whatever order you like. You can make 4 lists I think)

Is it just now and next so in the EPG for Satelite channels? Is there a way of doing recording e.g series link or similar?

Not a biggie as we don’t watch too much BBC ITV shows etc but the Mother in Law loves the ol Corrie’ and I want to keep her from pestering me to look for replays on catch up apps etc

Hi, how do these panels perform with sports or other fast moving scenes? Any bluring
, ghosting (is that the correct term?) etc? Thanks

Got the 58’ from Curry’s picked up today (9000 series) , setting up now ,it’s a big tv alright:)
Ambilight looks great ,well impressed with that , I’ve Philips hue bulbs so will link it to that system. Netflix and prime v good picture.
Doing updates and arranging the satellite channels is next .
All the apps advertised are there but haven’t used them yet ,all4 ,bbc etc ,must setup aerial for RTÉ but the app is there .
The remote I have doesn’t have keyboard on the opposite side,maybe that’s on different model.

Get a Revolut. You’ll save a few euros. It all adds up

Thanks for that

Great telly, I got it for a similar price on Amazon last Jan, well worth it

Thanks OP. I ordered the 43 inch before it sold out.
Hopefully more deals coming. RicherSounds yet to announce more deals.


I wonder if you set up TV as being in UK, use a VPN and connect to antenna could you use the FreeView Play service? Obviously not picking up any UK freeview channels via the DVB-T but use the on demand service?

Any concerns using DPD Parcel Wizard for a large and fragile item such as a TV? Thought I read somewhere they don't offer extended cover so what happens if they loose or damage your package
I've never used them previously but with ParcelMotel having increased prices and now not accepting oversized items will have to switch. Based on the product dimensions looks like delivery from DPD Parcel Wizard will cost €21, pricey enough vs ParcelMotel which would have been €14 but that's to your door rather than having to collect at their parcel hub.

We really are at such a disadvantage in the south when it comes to product availability and pricing.

No concerns until you posted this....now you have me worried

I just had delivery of a €250 Microwave and had to return it as it was faulty
They delivered a replacement this morning and no issues with delivery either time. Box was in perfect condition
Hopefully everything will work out ok

I see in their T&Cs the below

Anyone care to break down to lay man terms?

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Subject to these conditions, our liability to you for any loss or damage shall be limited to the following amounts:-

The replacement value of any goods or merchandise comprising all or part of the Consignment which are stolen, lost or damaged; OR
EUR €100 (one hundred euro) in respect of the whole Consignment,
whichever shall be the least, save that where applicable consumer protection law requires payment by us of a greater amount, our liability shall be limited to such greater amount.

Any claim made must be supported by such evidence of the value of the goods lost or damaged as we may require.

Couple of questions re: the 50”

Does this tv support Saorview and have a sat tuner?

Is this one of the best bang for buck offers around for tvs under 1000?

Do people think that RS will have a decent offer on this.

And finally is it worthwhile waiting for a similar bang for buck come Black Friday?

Thanks

Anyone get an estimated Delivery date on the TV in the OP from Amazon? Ordered Wednesday and still no estimated date or email to say it's been dispatched. Appreciate that Amazon are probably very busy with shipping at the minute...just wondering if anyone else in same boat?

Is this Philips TV better than a Sony Bravia or LG OLED TV?

Amazon are not the courier...

Yes.... they were. Amazon have a distribution centre in ireland now and deliver a lot of items themselves. You track via the app itself. Own branded vans etc.
