    Hi Soarer.

    This screen that iBOOD are selling is:
    • * ) model from Eastern-Europe
    [*]
    [font=Verdana, Tahoma, Trebuchet MS, Arial, sans-serif]It is not designed for the UK or Ireland and I would say will have issues with Soarview and HD broadcasts,[/font]


    [font=Verdana, Tahoma, Trebuchet MS, Arial, sans-serif]I would be do some serious research before purchasing the screen advertised to ensure this will meet your needs.[/font]


    [font=Verdana, Tahoma, Trebuchet MS, Arial, sans-serif]Unfortunately we would not be able to beat this price as it is not the same TV. Sorry![/font]


    [font=Verdana, Tahoma, Trebuchet MS, Arial, sans-serif]They also have no stock until 12th of March.[/font]

    This is the critical line from the :

    Digital Tuner: DVB-T / DVB-C / DVB-C (HD)

    That's how the tuner is described on the iBood 40F5500 - the Samsung UK / IRL model has a DVB-T2 tuner built in.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but Ireland uses DVB-T MPEG-4 for SD and HD transmissions, so unless you live in a border county and want to watch Freeview and Saorview in HD, there is no need for DVB-T2 tuner.

    Agreed -

    DVB-T2 is the latest spec and gives you all the available options - however the UE40F5500 is not on the approved Saorview approved equipment list (AFAIK), therefore I think its the safest option to recommend a unit that will deffo work in every ROI / UK region.

    As ever I'm not saying that the iBood TV is not a good TV ( you can see lots of my previous posts about iBood) but its not the same TV we sell!

    Thanks again,

    ATVB,
