Freeview & Saorview Channel Scan - December 2010

@ongchorcool They are broadcast on the UK DVB-T Freeview service from the Brougher Mountain transmitter site as mentioned in the description.

@ongchorcool I live in Northern Ireland. Freeview reception, including BBC NI, comes from a transmitter based in Northern Ireland while Saorview comes from a transmitter based in the Irish Republic.

@mrduffmagic This STB is not, as yet, Saorview approved although it could potentially be (if the appropriate software allows Ireland to be set as the country). The built-in EPG on this receiver has a 7 day guide available for all Saorview channels but there seems to be a bug in that the programme descriptions don't appear for these channels except oddly enough, the temporary RTÉ Two SD channel. The MHEG5 Aertel text service works fine on the RTÉ channels if a little slow compared to BBC RB.

@phoenix1916 you would also need to ensure you have a UHF aerial aimed towards a transmitter in the Republic that is broadcasting a Saorview service. A set top box or television certified for Saorview will be fine, a set top box or television certified for Freeview HD (not Freeview) should also be OK though there may be problems with subtitles, text etc. though general viewing is OK - you also might find the channels starting from 800 onwards, in my video I've rearranged the TV & radio channels.

My Bush DVB 680 has the same onscreen graphics as shown when the channels are changed.

[@ConorDuffyIRL]

Will this STB be able to decode saorview into 2012 including EPG and MHEG5 content?

[@NailHairCheer]
