Saorview

Hi folks, I'm living in Ennis (Tulla Rd) and was wondering if you know any type of indoor aeriel that will pick up digital signal. Would prefer to avoid cost of outdoor one if possible. Ta

Here is a question -

I have a Philips all digtial LCD I bought a couple years ago that has FTA built in. The problem is, Ireland is not an option.

That being said I plugged the old aerial in and selected UK as my country and did a scan and viola! All the new digital channels showed up under the digital channels list. All of the digital music channels work perfectly and I can flip through the RTEs and what not but the issue is there is no picture, only sound.

I have Sky+ so it's not a big issue, but was just curious if this was something I might be able to sort myself or if I would have to wait for a firmware update from the manufacturer.

I suspect that your TV does not have an MPEG-4 decoder, only MPEG-2.

Irish DTT uses MPEG-4.

Yup, only the newer televisions will pick up the irish freeview.
