Many thanks @tonka
Sadly just ordered one from Currys £78 free postage but we're going to check it out to see what we need to use it 12v if not it's going back :))
You can cut the lead off the 230 plug unit and connect it direct to your 12 volts. OR take it to Maplins for a suitable 12 volt lead of the correct size & polarity
OR your Grundig one might fit.

MINE will probably arrive Friday so I'll sort it and let you know the necessary

Do you need a dish to have this type of thong? We have only been abroad once so far but it would be good if I could get some sort of tv channels for mum to watch at night.

You only need to know the dimensions of the plug and they can be found on eBay
Mine will arrive tomorrow and I'll find you one

I'm sure Maplins will stock one of these but their staff are not all too bright

I've fitted it as it's so much better and put the other to spare
Plugged a 320gb hard drive in the back for recording and fitted an ifrafed repeater so it can be out of sight.
I recommend doing the software update after initial set up. Great that the remote can operate the TV too (Finlux)

Looks great we only have a small shelve to put ours on.
Can I ask did you get your infared repeater of eBay as well ?
