For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Freeview boxes are designed to work with signals transmitted in the MPEG2 format whereas Saorview uses MPEG4, so a standard Freeview box won't receive Saorview channels.
However Freeview HD does use MPEG4 so, if you've got an aerial pointed at a nearby Saorview transmitter (across the border), you'll probably be able to pick up these channels:

(Even so, it might be simpler just to buy a cheap Saorview box!)
