the 15" tv in my van is currently powered by 240v and is only used when on ehu . i would like to be able to watch it when not on ehu, so i was going to run it through a 150w inverter then i realised that it actually is the type that steps the power down to 12 volt via a inline box anyway ! so as the tv is rated at 60 watt /5amp [i have read that some tvs are only half that power !] is it feasable for me to run it direct from the nearby 12v supply [currently fitted with a 5amp in line fuse ] or just stick to the inverter plan? i have a freeview sat box as well but this only has a 12v dc lead anyway.
