Consumer televisions

[CountryBoy]

Hi y'all
Now we've been using a proper caravan television plus DVD player and a seperate Freeview box, problem?... wires!! lots of them as you can imagine.
Now I've seen television combos' for caravans advertised but expensive. So the question is can I use a normal TV combo as seen in Currys etc.

Hi Country Boy,
You most certainly can, we have a 19" Toshiba with built-in DVD and Freeview. Works very well indeed. You may need to upgrade your aerial if it is not compatable. We have a Status 530, although it was fitted as standard to our Swift. The only thing to watch out for with the cheaper LCD Televisions is the viewing angle, check you are able to view a clear picture from your normal viewing angle.

Thanks shipmate! I've got an arial that I can extend from inside the van so I reckon that wil be ok. Also we only use sites with elu.
