    Hi all, Looking out for new TV. This one is for sale in both Currys and PC world which are sister companies.


    http://www.currys.ie/Product/jvc-lt32c740-smart-32andrdquo-led-tv/321863/397.0.5


    I first went into PC world today and was told the set was not Saorview enabled and I would need to buy a Saorview box in Maplin. However speaking to the assistant in Curry's a few doors up a fem minutes later I was told it was Saorview - no need to buy a saorview box. So thats where I'm calling on ye kind folks to answer my question if possible please...Is the set Saorview?


    Also, better still if ye could provide me with possible better alternatives for around the same money or up to €300 absolute max. needs to be Saorview, no smaller than 32" and SMART TV.


    Thanks in advance for all constructive responses

    EPG = Electronic Programme Guide. I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work with this TV.

    Also, DVB-T2 compatibility, or lack of, has no bearing on Saorview functioning at present, & is unlikely to have for the foreseeable future anyway. Not that there's any mention of it in the spec. for this TV that I can see.

    Just to provide an update folks I bought the TV above yesterday evening. The original one I was after was gone up to €279 - had being €259. The one I bought has full HD whereas the one I was looking at was only HD ready (whatever thats suppose to mean I still dont know). To be honest the one I got suits the size of the room nicely. The 32'' would have being on the small side. For €60 extra it was a no brainer.


    I know there are nicer and better TVs out there but I also need to buy food, electricity, motor insurance, toiletries, clothes, car maintenance etc......
