If we add a little to be safe and call it 70cm x 1m x 25cm for the box, dimensional weight would be 58kg, about €37 to pick up from a Nightline Depot or €49 for door-to-door.

Dont think its Smart

An alternative to smart
is a Set top box Android Box, approx 70 euro ;

You then connect the box to your HDMI port

The android box, will give u much better web access,
Pinch and zoom,
you will have Chrome (and of course you will see your browser short cuts etc) and not have to use a TV browser

Huge choice of apps with Android, the choice of TV apps, v limited

I have a smart TV, a fairly recent model, and the interface is nowhere near Android

Where would you but a set top android box. I have never heard of them

Freeview TV sets from UK only support MPEG2 (unlike Freeview+HD) so forget about Saorview which is MPEG4.

I bought a 32 inch LG TV with freeview from Amazon and it worked with Saorview .

Android set top box

One of the more expensive, but includes a good keyboard and web cam for skype

(most smart TVs dont have have a webcam)

This link might be a bit out of date, but the guys on the android forum will have more recent info

I think Android set top box , beats most Smart TVS for ease of use, app choice and features

Can this TV be bought in any Tesco in Rep. Of Ireland for the same price.??

People who bought this tv are complaining about really poor sound quality.

What sort of audio out does the TV have if someone wanted to use external speakers or a Hifi with aux-in to improve the sound?

That'll fix the poor audio so. Use the Hifi for audio from the raspberry pi already so can use headphone out for the TV

The sound is great to me. The picture is brilliant and it can tune in either Saorview or Freeview but not both together

And thanks for that!! Just ordered one yesterday.

By the way, where do you find these codes? Are they on a website somewhere? I could see that being useful in other situations too.

Hi
Im interested in this tv but hopeless on techie stuff.

Can I just clarify if I can get Saorview with this tv?

I also plan to hook it up to my sky satellite (without subscription) for the free to air stations. Is this ok to do too?

It will bring in Saorview along with new text service and it will connect to your sky box as long as you have the proper hdmi/scart lead.

Would getting a smart blue ray dvd player do the same job ?

gary_walsh17

Yeah it does Saorview OR Freeview (only one connection) But it does specify both on the box (I got this TV 2 weeks ago)

That' only true for some TVs, probably not most recent ones plenty now have mpeg4. Freeview HD is DVB/t2 tuner.

Available in local tesco 32 inch for 199 EUR ! Supports saorview !

To be clear, this TV supports Freeview And Saorview. It is wrote on the box. I have the TV, both work but only individually as there is only one aerial connection

Sorry for the dumb question, but do i need to have an antenna to watch freeview/saorview ??

yes, either an indoor or an outdoor depending on your location

Are you definitely receiving RTE1 HD and RTE 2 HD?

The Tesco online spec says it has no Freeview HD tuner. Also one of the reviews says the same. Thanks.

RTE1 HD and RTE2 HD on Saorview use MPEG4 DVB-T

Not to be confused with FreeviewHD, which uses MPEG4 DVB-T2. To receive Freeview (TM), you need to be in an area that can receive Freeview overspill from NI or UK.

Understood but is anyone actually receiving RTE1 HD and RTE 2 HD with this set?
