Tuning in Saorview channels on Amiko Box

your local transmitter to receive saorview as they use different frequencies in each area.

If I have a Sky set up, i.e.. dish & LNB installed, can I buy a Free to air box and get the Free to air channels (ITV, BBC etc) from the Sky (astra 2) satellite?
Yes you can simply replace your sky box with a Free To air box to get U.K. free TV channels. If you do not already have an RTE aerial you can receive Saorview Irish channels using the small aerial supplied in the kit linked below. If you have been using a Sky Q box you must also change the LNB on the dish to a standard LNB

I have a Freesat box and it asks me for a postcode, what do I enter?
The Freesat system is UK based and it has regional variations so uses the postcode system to determine what region appears. Obviously in Ireland we do not have UK postcodes so you decide what region you wish to watch and enter the appropriate post code.
For example for Northern Ireland you could use BT7 1EB for London you could use SW1A 1AA
Where is the dish placed on my house?
The dish points in a southerly direction so if you can see where the sun is between 11 am and noon then that is the direction you are pointing. If this is at the front of your house do not despair, we can usually supply extra brackets to mount the dish at the back of your house
Will I have to tune in all of the channels myself?
Our installer will do this for you as part of the installation and show you how the box works. If you buy a box without installation from us we will pre load the UK satellite channels and it takes just a few minutes to load the Saorview channels from your local transmitter, we send you an email with step by step instructions on how to do this. If you are served by the Three Rock or Kippure transmitters we can pre load the saorview channels also.
Is it possible to run two or more boxes from one dish?
Yes it is possible but you must add a multi output LNB to your existing dish (you may already have one) and run a separate cable to the second box. The new quad (four) output LNB's are available in our dishes and LNB section. Click Here
