Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue.

    Hi All,
    I'm thinking of upgrading to this box but have a few questions.
    1. When connected to an ariel and dish, will I get 7 day epg on both or will it be just the Irish channels.
    2. Will I have catchup tv and, if so, will be on both the Irish and Uk channels? I understand I can access apps like rte player but is there another way within the box.
    3. From the epg, can I set programme reminders and will they appear on screen a few minutes before broadcast like they do on my current sky box.
    4. The current price seems to be €159.99. Does anyone if there's a better price out there?
    Thanks in advance.

    Think carefully about the purchase. This box has fallen far short of all expectations. They've only sold in very low numbers apparently, I would not be surprised if they are discontinued.

    Irish only.
    2. Will I have catchup tv and, if so, will be on both the Irish and Uk channels? I understand I can access apps like rte player but is there another way within the box.
    RTE Player, no UK catch up apps. No way to add them. Box is closed software.
    3. From the epg, can I set programme reminders and will they appear on screen a few minutes before broadcast like they do on my current sky box.
    Unknown.

    That's probably the best price.

    Comprehensive thread here. Even the last few pages should give you food for thought. There are far better options for less money such as this.

    Dear God, that's the end of saorview connect for me! I'll check out the Tiviar box so.

    Agree with Gerry above. Tiviar is a great bit of kit. I got a second one last week.
