Apologies. I hadn't seen Whiskey1's similar thread before I started this one.
I looked on the Saorview website and this page tells you which tv's have the in-built facility. A pity I didn't know about this before I bought my one....
I'd try and bring it back to Argos, they usually are good at taking stuff back.
I've always found the Argos returns policy to be very good but I bought a TV in January that was not compatible with Saorview. I also found that DVD jammed/skipped intermittently. Argos in Mahon Point refused to take it back because it played perfectly in the shop. Anyway, the jamming thing seems to have sorted itself in the meantime. I suspect shops will be cautious of people returning sets just because they are not Saorview compatible. Will be interested to see how you get on.
That list only covers TVs that have complied with Saorview (and paid their dues), but most TVs are fully compatible. The only difference is really when you buy in argos or currys you are more likely to buy a uk Tv which will have an MPEG2 tuner.
If the TV set has a MPEG4 tuner this it is compatible with Saor View. The fact that it is compatible in the UK does not make the set ''not compatible'' here. Also you could contact the manufacturers and ask has the set an MPEG4 tuner.
I recently bought a new tv in Argos. I hadn't even thought about Saorview. When I unpacked it I noticed that, along with the HD Ready, Dolby and Digital TV stickers on it, it also had a "Freeview" one.
Is Freeview the British version of Saorview? Will I be able to pick up Saorview with the tv or will I need a Saorview box for it?
Whats the make and model number of the TV ?
Hi Silvermints. It's a Bush and the model number is BTVD91186iH. It'd be great if you could tell me if it's Saorview compatible............
