WANTED - Freesat TV

[jaykay]

I have a satellite dish and have just realised my TV wont fit onto my bracket because of the dvd bulge on the back.

Has anyone got a freesat tv for sale or can recommend a low cost one?

I was planning to get a freesat box, but might as well get a tv with it built in now?

move the bracket

move the bracket

Or, after carrying out all the relevant measurements of course remove the bracket, mount a spacer (deep enough to accomodate the bulge on the back of the TV), then remount the bracket.
This may require longer securing bolts.

Good luck with it.

The bracket isn't in the wrong place its the recess of the mounting position on the tv that means the mounting plate wont fit flat to the tv.

This may be an option although would be a bit of a bodge. Cheaper than a new tv though and I could then just get a freesat box.
I will give it some thought!

Any supermarket...
If the mains plug is fitted direct into the TV then you can use a small inverter to power the TV.
Some TV's do come with a seperate adaptor and so can be connected up to the 12v supply BUT check all that out first.. Otherwise maybe ebay etc...

Yes Alan, you can get TVs with a built in satellite receiver and freeview. You just need a dish and an aerial. I tried a Cello TV with built in satellite, but it wasn't as good a receiver as my old Technomate one, so I sent the TV back.

Cheers,

Jock.

Thinking on, it wasn't Freesat, but it was a Free To Air (FTA) satellite receiver TV.
