avtex 19" tv (1 Viewer)

[Builder147]

Just a quick question regarding the Avtex 19” L186drs. I know it has a built in sat decoder/freeview, but what exactly can I watch? (what channels in the uk ) Sorry if it is a silly q, but how do I watch my sky tv? (I know I need a Dish/dome) but do I need a separate sky box? i.e. pace box? :Confused:

Many thanks as always.

We have the same tv, apart from your satellite dish, you can take your Sky or Sky + box and viewing card with you to watch your particular package. As well as the other Freeview channels that are available.
We got a Sky+ box for a fiver, so just take it with us so we can watch what we want now.
Unless someone knows otherwise.......

Yes you need a sky box if you want to watch sky tv with the Avtex. The channels you can get are the same as you get with freeview tv but you can get all the regional channels.

Brill Thank you. But would it be best to get a 12v box?

If we stop in a lay-by for lunch (what else???) and want to watch the tv we can operate the Avtex and our satellite off the 12 volt and could watch the usual Freeview channels. But in order to use our Sky box/Sky channels/ we need the viewing card and mains supply to power it up.
Not too sure what you mean by a 12 volt box?
We never put the tv on for quick stops though.

Sorry, I was just asking if there is 12v sky+ receiver that you could buy instead of the 240v ones

We have an Avtex TV, dome and Sky+ box. We transfer the viewing card from the house when we go away (but remember you cannot watch premium channels on a different box).

The Sky+ box is run off a small 150 watt inverter. The TV and box draw about 3.5 amps when in use.
