Saorview approved television?

You check it against the list - https://www.saorview.ie/en/get/products

A retailer can sell whatever they want, and don't need to call out Saorview compatibility or not. I doubt there's a single TV on the market in Europe that isn't capable of working completely with Saorview considering its just NorDig anyway.

If you are really keen on this TV then when it says it can receive freeview HD this means it has the tuner to pick up SAORVIEW. As this tv has freesat hd it will need a UK post code and will in effect work as if it was in the UK. This means the saorview chanels will be in a higher number range like 800. To switch between saorview and satelllite can be a bind but it has been posted on here how to do a shortcut, You will have to search.

Two years ago I bought a Samsung TV which was certified as Saorview approved on the Saorview website but it couldn't handle Saorview subtitles. So much for relying on the Saorview website.

Don't DVB subtitles use vastly more bandwidth? As the subtitles are basically pictures, not text sent to be displayed by the receiving TV.

With the original single mux idea, space was at a premium.

Thanks but unfortunately on my Samsung TV, when Subtitle is turned On, the only options are "Normal" or "Hearing Impaired" in Subtitle Mode

So, no Subtitles on Saorview on my 2016 model. I thought it might be because the TV has UK as country to get Freesat too, but it must be a Samsung issue

Good info, thanks.

Recently checked 2 Samsung TVs without success unfortunately.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the TV is expecting HbbTV when set to UK so it won't read the Saorview MHEG-5 service.

Won't receive red button text on freesat either except for the first time. After redirects you to iplayer which isn't very helpful in Ireland
