Will all PC's and TV's purchased in the UK work here in the Republic?
A friend of mine is moving home after Christmas and he is wondering whether he should bring the equipment home or sell it up.
I suppose a new DTT TV, if it only had a digital tuner, might be problematic from the viewpoint of tuning analogue terrestrial channels. Maybe they all have analogue tuners, don’t really know.
Also some UK TV's might not pick up VHF signals (only really an issue for picking up RTE with an aerial in certain areas). For using cable/Sky and in some areas for RTE by aerial you will be fine with UHF which is what is on UK TV's (TVs for the Irish market are dual UHF/VHF)
I think that some (or all?) UK TVs may not cover parts of the relevant broadcast spectrum that Irish TVs do. I'd imagine that if this is the case then a tweak of the tuner by somebody with the necessary expertise would help?
