56 Ardmahon Estate

On another matter related to Saorview, would any member be able to assist me with using Aertel from within Saorview? I use binoculors or a type prescribed bor the task However I cannot switch to Aertel once Saorview is selected.

Further I have found it unwise to liave the Saorview environment temtorarily to access Aertel due to the lentht of the set-up procedure to get back into Saorview.

I am one of the chaacters with two boxes, one for Saorview and the other for foreign freeview and radio and a toggle at the top right bubbon on same tabkes be between the two systems.

Another problem with Saorview is that the sound on the transmission frequently disappears. Increasing the volume control makes no impact. The following day it may work.

Yet another query I was was about to put to the Saorview phoneline shortly is how to set the tv so that the time will self adjust for winter and summer time. My set keeps to GMT all year year around and is very strange to compare with the new time of day this week. It was giving me the same trouble last summer but when I realised what was up I stopped checking the tv time

Regards,

Tony Roche

Gerry,

Unfortunately the RTE channels aren't available on Freesat. The RTE feeds come from the same satellites as the versions on Sky, so they're encrypted.

To get accessible both Freesat and Saorview / Saorsat you'd need 2 separate boxes as far as I know. A Panasonic Freesat TV with voice guidance for Freesat, and an accessible set-top-box for Saorview. I doubt very much that Panasonic will produce a TV set with both platforms, but you may wish to do some research to verify this.

As per the Youtube video Joan Ann posted - it appears that the only menu which works with voice guidance on the Panasonic TVs is the TV guide / EPG. Speech isn't provided in any of the set-up menus, which I expect would rule out accessible PVR functionality (if it's included in the specifications at all). Again have a look at the various specs to verify this.

Have a look at

You may find this forum on boards.ie useful - it contains a truck load of information on Saorview / Freesat.

Hope this helps,

Ciaran

Ciaran, Are the r.t.e. radio and TV channels available now! on the Freesat platform, I know there was some breakdown in negociations some years ago, Thus I don't know the situation presently. Also, is there a record option in the menus of these panasonic tv's i.e. if you attach a usb stick or hard drive will you be able to record programmes?

Correct Dónal - these TV sets will only speak the EPG on Freeview in the UK, and Saorview in Ireland.

However, I believe there is to be a Freesat model, so this will work in either country. Freesat doesn't carry the subscription channels we all love (hate?) and know from Sky and UPC though. That said it's a very popular platform nowadays, so these sets will represent a great way of getting accessible multi-channel telly in the ROI.

A channel list can be found on the following site:

Been doing a bit of looking at this.  For anyone with Sky or UPC it will
*not* read the EPG on those services as far as I know. I'm most definitely open to correction though and hope I'm wrong.
