hi all, just ordered a new avtex tv with built in sat receiver. some of you must have one ? whats the verdict, are they worth the extra cost ? I hope so

Had ours for 5 years and has generally been okay, occasional over the last few months the screen has gone dark but has corrected itself after a few minutes. Ours is FTA but the new ones are perhaps Freesat.

 

[smiffy502000]

yes freesat I think. its not done to bad then 5 years, some don't last 5 months !

No complaints here, even though I had a problem when the sat receiver stopped working. Tele was collected, repaired and sent back to me all in 5 days.
Saves having a freesat box taking room up.

If you bought it from John Lewis, you should have a 5 year warranty on the tv (2 years on the built in DVD player).

Even John Lewis doesn't like the DVD player the only problem with them

We rarely use the DVD on ours, carry an external disk drive with some films etc on instead.

I have had one good one and one rubbish one so 50/50 for me.

We bought one last summer within a few months it stopped working. Collected and repaired. Good picture but not sure how robust they are.

 

[denisejoe]

Only used the DVD after about 2 years when we were away in the winter only watched about 15 DVDs over 3 months but DVD started slipping
Have new one now only used DVD twice and seems okay hopefully newer ones are better

Had ours for 6 years fantastic fellow, not a moment's trouble...enjoy

So far so good with ours, and easier for only needing one remote and one 12v socket.

Had Avtex TV/DVD's on the boats and they survived some very rough crossings. At least they didn't empty their internals all over the decks like the crew did at times!

Not the cheapest and I know some disagree but based upon my own personal experience I had no concerns in buying a couple of 21" Avtex TV/DVD's (L218DRS) with hard cases for the motorhome. So far they have proved to be a good choice.

I think they are Free to Air and not Freesat.
Also is it a bit late asking what people's thoughts when you have ordered it.

Had one for nearly 2 years and very pleased with it. Compared with my previous cheaper one the viewing angles are greatly improved. The freesat receiver works with easyfind satellite dishes which is a big plus for me. We don't use satellite very often so an expensive self seeking dish seems a bit over the top for us. However, setting up our portable g sat panel is no problem with easyfind.

 

[Rockcrawler]

No complaints with mine and the Oyster connects straight to it without the need for any boxes

Only had one, a L216DRS, had it nearly 5 yrs and it's consistent, it has the same rubbish picture/colour quality as when we got it

Don't bother with TV in the van anymore so it's relegated to my wife sewing room. Well overpriced imo.

 

[robrace]

[Camping Gaza]
