The beauty of our proximity to our oft maligned neighbours, The UK is that the beam from their Freesat Satellite system covers all of Ireland too expanding the range of channels that we can receive here in Ireland into the hundreds. Ireland with the launch of their new digital terrestrial channels called Saorview only has 8 domestic channels and two of them only broadcast for a few hours a day, so you could really knock that number back down to six channels.
They are popular throughout Europe but the particular situation Ireland finds itself in, TV channels wise makes them particularly useful in an Irish context. The first thing to understand is what is a combo receiver? Well, it a receiver for TV channels that can both receive satellite broadcasts along with digital terrestrial channels. I have my Ferguson Ariva 120 HD Combo a while now and after initial struggles with firmware updates that came thick and fast, things seem to have settled down now and the combo receiver is running really well and performing as I would have hoped.
