Hi,
I'm in Ireland
So I have a Starview 4 that is useless at the moment. I am wondering can I use it to pick up the Digital Terestial Television Channels that are currently being broadcast in Ireland (i.e. RTE 1,2 TV3,TG4,RTE News Now,Few Radio Channels).
I connected my Aerial to the cable in on the box and did a scan under the "NTL" heading but as I suspected I got nothing. Do I need a specific firmware to do this as all I have is the firmware that used to get all the channels before Nag 3.
Thanks.

Different tuners. You won't get the DTT broadcast with the starviews cable tuner.

Also on a completely different topic, do you happen to know if Sony's Play TV Device that works with the PS3 has an MPEG-4 tuner?
Thanks.

Read something a while ago about them. As far as I'm aware they do both Mpeg-2 and Mpeg-4 and they release patches for them to improve performance. Google is your friend there I'd say.
