Samsung Digital Freeview

jabaroon · 2007-08-02 21:12:17

Hi All, When I bought my samsung 42" recently, the sales dude told me that it also had digital freeview capability. I have some spare LNB's on my Sky satellite dish and am assuming therefore that I could run one to the TV and get freeview???...am I correct or completely missing something!! Thanks, Jab

Freeview = DVB-T (digital over the air broadcasts at this time there is only a limited trial in Dublin nowhere else so you must be in range of the trial to pick it up)

Freesat view = DVB-S (digital over satelite & is not available in Ireland only the UK though with some effort it is possible to get it)

The TV has a built in DVB-T tuner so thats the only kind of digital TV it will pickup.
