tv help please (1 Viewer)

[Cat01]

Hi guys

I have sort of gatecrashed here a little as I'm not a campervan owner, but a horsebox owner (please dont shout ) however seeing as its a query to do with the living quarters I thought you may be able to help!

I have an existing tv in the living area (supplied by a leisure battery and also has a mains hook up) however its a bit archaic and needs to be upgraded to digital. I was wondering what the best way to go about this was?

I have looked at 12v tv's however the gap it has to go in is only a mere 12 inches so its a bit of a struggle finding something that small. Does anyone know of anywhere that may stock them?

My other option is to look at a digibox and an inverter(?) but not really sure what im to look out for in this though, and which is a good buy

The whole electrical thing is a bit foreign to me, and after a few hours of trawling the tinterweb i am now thoroughly confused! Any help will be gratefully received

This would fit in the space, is Freeview, 12v/240v and the best.

This might fit too, and just a tad less expensive.

Cheers,

Jock.

my tv packed up and i bought this 1 which is 12v but i was told by a friend that there could be a problem with it with a hookup in europe as the rate there varies and can blow the tv out is that the case Link Removed

Worth looking at Maplins. They stock a couple of models and have a number of stores around where you can look at them.

The trouble is Bill, Cat01 is looking for something a bit smaller.

however the gap it has to go in is only a mere 12 inches

We bought a 12v/240v 10 inch TV from Maplins a couple of years ago and it works OK (when we bother watching it ). Link Removed is the current equivalent.

These look good offers but be sure to read the description of " B Grade offers "
Which can be returned or used items or just damaged boxes .. I have purchased an item like this with no probs

it perfectly safe to use a UK TV in Europe.

same 230v voltage, same 50Hz frequency...but most of Europe used to use a different transmission system.

Britain = PAL and Europe = SECAM....

both now use the same DVB-T for digital TV.

Hi you can also buy a digi box for £13 from Asda they are /were 12v so no need for inverter
