Small Saorview box or adaptor

[Woodie]

Is there anyone who knows of small box or adaptor that is "approved" for Saorview? I don't necessarily want to record to HD or hand a USB device from it. I just need a small approved device.

What I am thinking is, I have a Freeview enabled TV (before anyone says anything I brought it with me from the UK) which is on the wall. I need a small enough box or adaptor that can sit or plug discretely on the TV as I don't particularly want to drill in an unsightly shelf just for a box for RTE etc.

I've seen such adaptors and understand that they are not MPEG4 and MHEG5 compliant. Seems like there should be a market for this but I have yet to find one.

something like this is what you need

Aldi/Lidl woodies etc also do approved saorview boxes now, sometimes as low as €50

I don't think there are any smaller approved ones.
I have a similar wall mounted TV and I bought a cheap box on Ebay which fits behind the TV although its a bit of a squeeze.
It works fine but the channel numbers are up in the 800's and the EPG is only now and next.

Will that fit into my proposed setup i.e. with wall mounted TV? I can see no dimensions for any box ....maybe I'm blind?

That seems more like it; I guess they are not Saorview approved though as I see nothing of MHEG 5 in the stats. Thanks for the tip, maybe a stopgap.
