Digital Satellite TV Online Shop

TV Trade specialise in Satellite TV Equipment at discounted prices direct to our customers. We provide free information on how to save money by installing the Satellite TV equipment. We aim to offer a professional and fast service providing the Satellite TV & Digital TV products you need without any hassle. We have a wide range of Satellite Dishes, Satellite Receivers and TV Aerials, not forgetting the cables to connect it all together and brackets & poles to mount them.

With the dawn of the Digital Television age in Ireland, our goal is to provide not only the digital television equipment needed to receive the new Saorview TV service, we also want to provide comprehensive guides to our customers on how to set up their new equiment and how to best receive the Digital TV signal.

We offer detailed technical advice on all our products including; step-by-step guides; video tutorials (Like our unique video on how to align Satellite Dishes, which has had over 60,000 views since we made it)and user manuals. We do this for several reasons- the main one being that we want our customers to be 100% confident in their purchase, we aim to supply each customer with a product that suits their needs exactly. We believe knowledge is the key, since we have experience in the industry we feel it should be shared so others can use it to their benefit.

All of our Satellite TV equipment is non subscription based technology, so this means no more tv bills for you. The two main type of satellite receiver we have is Free to air and Freesat. Both have their pros and cons both in their features and pricing but we are sure that there is something in our online shop for everyone.

We started stocking digital satellite combo receivers recently and they have proved to be our biggest seller. A combo receiver allows you to get both the Irish digital tv stations (RTEs, TV3, 3e etc) and the free to air UK satellite channels (BBCs, ITVs, Ch4 etc etc) in one set top box. The combo units also have are PVR ready (Rewind, Pause, Record etc)

TV Trade is an online store. All orders must be placed online using the shopping cart. The most efficient means of acquiring technical support is to e-mail us. We will promptly reply with a detailed e-mail giving advise and linking to the relevant products and online tutorial videos to assist you.

Meant to add this in also. See our YouTube channel for all our instructional videos.

Digital Satellite TV Videos

We have been busy shooting videos for the range of new products that we added over the last couple of weeks, the most exciting one of which is our new Ethernet Homeplugs. We added them just to see how they would go. There is increasingly an overlap between digital & satellite tv sytems and home networking. Some Satellite Receivers now come with an etherent port to allow streaming from both the interent and from your computer equipment. Also with everyone seeing to have a media player these days, it seemed like a good idea to us to add the home plug sets.

Homeplugs remove the need to run extra cabling through your home or office while still being able to distribute your broadband signal. Of course you could do it wirelessly too but not every one is comfortable with this and there are of course instances where you might want the internet in a dead wifi area, so the homeplugs are ideal in these circumstances.

We just want to give a quick mention to our new foray into the UK Satellite Finders market. We have been increasingly getting sales on these Sat finders from mainland UK customers. Even with the shipping cost, they explained that the S10 SmartMeter is far cheaper than any equivalent Professional Sat Finder over there. So with this in mind, we created a website especially for UK customers to sell the S10 Meter.

Just wanted to let everyone know that we at TvTrade have signed an exclusivity deal with one of Germany's largest electronics manufacturers Xoro to supply their range of receivers in Ireland. We already the fantastic Xoro 3000 Free to Air Satellite Receiver on sale but after signing our deal, we can now proudly add the Xoro 8520 HD Satellite Receiver to our range. One of the best feature of Xoro is that one of their main businesses is media players and as such, they have integrated a high quality MP into their range of receivers. Any HD box from Xoro will also play MKV files also. There is, quite simply, nothing else in the market to compare to Xoro in it's price range. To that end, we are please to announce that we can offer the lowest cost Saorview Compatible box on the market. It's the Xoro 7510. Apart from being Mpeg4 and HD compatible, it also has brilliant PVR features built in (with the addition of a USB powered External Hard Drive) and integrated Media Player. Another massive plus point for the Xoro DTT Box is that is has a front facing USB port unlike so many other boxes on the market making it far more convenient to use your external HDD with the box.

There is an exciting development in Free to air satellite systems today. As of March 10th 2011, Channel 4 will be broadcast in HD for the first time on Free to Air. This will add to the current HD channels BBC1 HD, ITV HD and BBC HD. C4 HD will need to be manually tunes into your free to air HD Satellite Receiver and you can find the procedure below.

Tuning in C4 HD Frequencies on a Free to Air Satellite Receiver

Just to give another quick heads up regarding Saorview. The long awaited next gen of Walker Saorview Boxes has arrived in ireland. We expect to have them on the shelves at the worst from Next Wednesday. Can't wait to get a lookey at one.

Another quick post regarding the dropping of the ITV2, ITV3 and ITV4 Tv stations by UPC. From today April 1st(not a joke), UPC are dropping these stations. For more read our blog UPC Loses Rights to ITV2, ITV3 & ITV4

This is a disaster for UPC, with the every growing Free to Air TV sector sure to capitalise on this.

Just another quick post to let folks know that we have put up a comprehensive guide to Saorview on our website. It's basically a q and a session. We will keep adding to it as we think of more questions to be answered on Saorview. Have a read a be Saorview smart.

Another quickie to let people know that we have just put up the most comprehensive guide to getting free view in Ireland. We have spent weeks researching this. It's not simple, I can tell you. But in the end we have created a simple guide that the average Joe Bloggs will understand and for you convenience, we have created Ireland's first Freeview & Saorview combo Kit to allow you to get all the UK Freeview & Irish Saorview channels on one receiver. Truely the best of both worlds.

I just want to use this opportunity to give a quick mention of a local company who helped us out greatly recently. We had a bit of tip in our installation van recently and Frans Crash Repairs in Portlaosie sorted us in a very timely manner. We found them to very very helpful and really couldn't recommend them enough for repairing your vehicle in the case of a accident.

We just did up a handy guide to Free TV in ireland in our ever growing blog. The market for free TV in ireland is growing at a massive rate and we felt that it would be a good idea to do up a guide to getting TV for Free. Included in the guide are the pros and cons so the reader can make an informed decision.

Just want to give a quick plug (if you'll excuse the pun) to our fantastic new homeplugs that we have just signed the distribution deal for. The are made by solwise, one of the leading manufacturers of networking equipment in Europe. We did a lot of research into the area of etherent over mains adaptors over the last while and found that these were the best in the prioce range we were aiming at. RF interference is a crital factor when buying homeplugs and we found these to give off among the lowest interference of the models we tested. Check em out.

Just to let folks know thatw e have the fantastic Smart CX61 in stock now. We have an exclusive deal with Smart in Germany that will allow us to sell these in ireland. The CX61 is simply the best Combo Box we have ever had in stock and we expect it to fly off the shelves. Why pay for subscription TV when you can get all the free UK and Irish TV channels on one box legally!

Just another brief post to let everyone know that Saorview is to be officially launched this weekend and to mark the launch of Ireland's new Digital TV service, there will be three major sporting events broadcast on saorview in HD.

The 2011 champions league final bewteen Man Utd and Barcelona

The 2011 Magners league final between Munster & Leinster

The munster hurling championship game between Tipperary and Cork

Saorview is the only way to get these games live and in HD for free with native commentry and panelists. So if you want to see Eamonn Dumphy is glorious HD, maybe not:-), then Saorview is the only way to go!!!
