Avtex & Blu-Ray (1 Viewer)

[Kingham]

Do the latest range of Avtex combination TVs play Blu-Ray discs directly, or just DVDs.

Thanks.

As far as I know our recently-purchased Avtex Series 8 doesn't do Blu-Ray, but DVD should be OK.

I had a feeling that would be the case, when I couldn't see the Blu-Ray symbol on their adverts.

Wouldn't you think they would move with the times, especially considering that Blu-Ray will play DVD, but not vica versa.

The TVs have quite a few sockets on them, which would make a stand alone Blu-Ray player possible.

Especially as Avtex are so expensive ( overpriced) you would have thought they would be blu -ray enabled.

Sure the next release may well have BluRay. I don't think there'd be much demand yet.

I emailed them earlier asking that very question of them.

I'll hang on to one of my old 16" combos if there is an imminent Series 9 with Blu-Ray. If nothing else, it may plant the seed of an idea.

I can't see them doing one that will play Blu Ray as, TBH, it's quite an old format and was never taken up 'en masse' by anyone.

Do you want a TV that has both aerial and satellite reception?

I've got no plans to go back down the satellite route. Had Roadpro system on the last van, which was excellent, but only used by the boss lady.
I'm happy getting occasional weather forecasts if I get a signal and being able to watch a film (DVD/BRay) on an evening, if the weather closes in.

I'm led to believe that Cello have come on leaps and bounds, but my first ever 12v Cello from my caravanning days was enough to leave a sour taste.

It's probably my loss, but on principle, I won't go back to Talk Talk, Vauxhall or Cello, amongst several other companies that have dropped below par in the past.

I'm not knocking any of their current products, just once bitten, twice shy.

I understand what you are saying. And for the exact same reasons I would never buy avtex again. .back up service is great but products fall very much below the price quality .

 

[Stretto Boy]

I had a Cello in the old van and it was fine for our purposes. We are going to have it fitted in the bedroom of our new one. The new Auto-Sleeper has an Avtex fitted : haven't even switched it on yet but, when we do, I will be able to compare the two makes.

Just by way of an update for anyone searching this topic, Avtex customer services confirmed that they have no plans to move to Blu-Ray.

I bought one of their latest 21" TVs and I'm very impressed with it so far.

You can load films onto a memory stick, which then plugs into Avtec,saves weight and bulk of DVD 's

Being a Luddite and being without a home computer or laptop at the moment, I can't think of a way to transfer my DVDs on to memory stick.
I'm using an iPad for Internet access for the time being.
