Can I Receive Both Freesat And Saorsat?

I’m in the market for a new television and I want to be able to receive Freesat, and Saorsat. As I understand it Saorsat should cover the whole of the island - I live in Armagh City.

Any idea on what sort of equipment, or equipment upgrade, I will need to receive both services. At the moment I have the Sky dish and box but would love to ditch Sky. To be honest I only have them so I can receive a decent RTE signal.

I appreciate that a lot of televisions have built in Freeview but have any built in Freesat tuners?

My normal practice is to deal with a local television shop rather than the big chains as I think you get a better service and response if anything goes wrong so before doing the rounds I’d like to have some kind of idea of what equipment I’ll need. And if you wave cash they will deal

So can anyone let me know what is involved and what I'll need. As always your advice and assistance is appreciated

You will but not yet. Check this thread (link to current last page - 93):
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055968485&page=93

Thread discusses equipment you will need and has maps illustrating Saorsat coverage. Armagh should be OK. Apogee's & Watty's posts will provide all information so far known about what you'll need.
