Battery Powered Portable Television for Satellite tv

[Chris_374460622]

Hello,

Does anyone know of a small portable tv that can be run off internal batteries and can be used with a satellite dish?

Thanks,

Chris

Any small battery powered portable can be used with a satellite dish

The satellite dish via the digi box just provides the signal and this can be fed to the TV via a scart lead or through the TV aerial input

Thanks for your reply. I'm new to battery powered televisions. Can you mention a make and model that runs off its own internal batteries?

Thanks

I was about to look when called away so will try now!!

Here are a few:

You will still need a power source for the Sky box

I often use my Sky+ box and 15in Tv via an inverter off the caravan battery

Yes, I realize that. I was looking for a tiny tv, around 7". Do you happen to know what type of lead is needed to connect the tv to the satellite receiver? Clearly it needs to be a scart connector on the receiver end but do the small battery powered tellys tend to have a scart socket also or something else?

Thanks again

I have one in the car for rear view and it connects to the camera via a phono lead but phono to scart leads are readily available

Hi Chris

Please dont take this the wrong way and you can tell me to mind my own business,but why do you want a tv that runs on its own batterys? 7" 12volt tvs are numerous and cheap you have 12volt in van for satelite or mains these tvs will run on both.Tvs that use there own batterys or known for not having a very long veiwing time and are mainly used for use away from any other power source.If you are worried about running down your caravan battery you could buy a rechargeable power pack cheapest about
