Tuning in RTE Saorview on a Sky Box - Is it Possible

Frank asks;

Is it possible to tune in RTE Saorview on a Sky Box?

TV Trade's answer;

Hi Frank, unfortunately not. It is a different service altogether. Sky TV is a satellite based TV service and Saorview is a Terrestrial TV Service. Other names that you may have heard for Saorview are names like DTT, Digital Terrestrial Television & Digital TV. Saorview is broadcast from television transmitters based all over Ireland, usually on mountains to ensure maximum coverage.

If you want to get the Saorview service then you have a few options. You will either need to get;

We currently have a couple of the popular Saorview boxes in stock and you could could also look at either our Digital TV receiver or maybe our Satellite Combo Receiver which allows you to get both the Saorview Channels and the free UK satellite channels on one receiver.

To get the Saorview signal you will also need a good Digital TV Aerial. These are of the UHF type and we have lots in stock to suit you location.
