Thanks fun-vanilla-4466 that's good to know.

I was a bit concerned because what I thought would be a couple of hundred is spiraling budget wise. We could do with a TV and they would love to game though.

So I don't mind , but you know yourself it's a steep purchase! I'd have been raging if I got the wrong sort of TV etc.

The tuner for TV in Ireland is called Saorview. It's a pain in the arse because tvs from the UK won't work without buying an additional Irish tuner which adds about 100 minimum to the price so irish market tvs are usually more expensive , but if you get the UK one you need to waste a port and have another dvd player sized yoke and watch TV via an option instead of buttons 1 2 3 etc. You might even need another remote. I'm just not a fan . Now not essential but may as well use the telly as a telly too 😉
