Avtex 27” smart TVs - Netflix and Prime? (1 Viewer)

[almichie]

Hi all, we are about to order a tv for the new motorhome but want to make sure we will be able to watch Netflix and prime - avtex don’t show images on their site and I can’t find any information anywhere that says they are included.
Has anyone got one of these that can help please?
Yes I want an avtex as we want the option of sky and streaming in one box.
TIA

Is there a reason you particularly want the Avtex rather thay say, an LG or Samsung?

 

[Cheshirecat57]

Or a Cello/Ferguson 12v?

We have the Avtex 27” smart TV and Netflix and Amazon are not included as far as I know.

The flexibility mainly and the fact that it has freesat and streaming channel - doesn’t look like it will be an avtex based on the last comment though. I’m not against any of the other brands at all - just wanted one box covers all if possible.

That’s a shame - are you able to check please? Thanks

Plus we have limited space - the Avtex allows to to have a 27” In the space LG doesn’t due to the frame around the screen.

It's certainly not included on ours but specs change all the time and I did read that it might be added in the future so the only sensible thing really is to ring Avtex and see what they say.

I don’t believe these TV’s have Freesat but the more basic Free to Air satellite.

Could be better and cheaper to install an Inverter just for the TV - and sound bar.

Get an Amazon Firestick and you can get everything as long as your tv has a hdmi socket.

And they can take updates, which I’ve heard the smart tv’s struggle with after a time.

I think these are the same thing. The Avtex and many other smart TVs have DVB-S/S2 & DVB-T/T2 tuners so can receive Freeview through an aerial and Freesat through a sat dish.

I would sell you my 10 month old Ferguson 22” ( made by Cello in Uk) that fit perfectly in my recently sold Elddis 175
It has built in sat receiver and smart caoability
If you are interested I will dig the bix out of the lift and send full spec

This would save you a pile of money

Yes buts not freesat, I don’t think.I could be wrong

How much do you want for it please?

I’ve also got a 22” Sniper in classifieds but not smart so would need a fire stick or similar.

Duff info from me, does NOT, have in built sat receiver
It is 24 inch not 22

It IS a Smart tv with Netflix,Prime ,YouTube and Catch up pre loaded
It IS Wi fi enabled

It DOES have Freesat

Cheapest on e bay, direct from ferguson is £209.99. Ebay item
make me an offer

 

[gerrym11]

Just look at mainstream TV, I don't understand why people buy Avtex or Cello unless they need 12v

 

[golly]

Another vote for firestick, takes its power from a USB on the TV

I can confirm that the Avtex is not a smart TV and I’m not that impressed with the sound on mine either

Totally and utterly confused (don't take much)
Don't want to be paying out £450 for a telly one can get for £250.
Want a telly that will show the free stations, netflix and prime is about all. Oh and of course films i have downloaded from something like those @@@@@ bay sites.
Suggestions welcomed.

I had mine working ok like that but it would not update until I had it on mains power so have now wired it into my mains system..

Agreed, you really need a sound bar for the Avtex

Just get a fire stick, any dodgy films you have are probably on a tablet, so you just need a hdmi cable and Bobs your Auntie

I would try get a tv with at least 2 HDMI ports and maybe an arc port ( handy if you want a soundbar in the future) most decent TVs now should have all this, if you use an I pad, you can get the connectors from Mr Bezos corner shop, happy hunting

Have a look at Greg Virgoe's excellent video on how he made use of a Samsung Smart TV on 12DC.

I have a 24” sharp smart tv in the van that runs off 12v, a lot of domestic TV’s these days are the same.
