Club 80-90 Forums

im interested to see how big your tv is in your van ? not that i want a really big one but like to see what others have done, have look through the forum but not found to much

Not got one and don't intend getting one. Got a portable DVD player for the kids just in case the weather is really bad but only ever used it a couple of times.

I'll second that. Can't understand why people go on holiday and watch TV? Surely you go on holiday to get sway from everyday life?! I've even seen people with portable satellites!

19" - it's in the roof at the front. I lay it flat in it's box when not in use. I hardly ever do use it It has a USB input that you can play films off a memory stick or hard drive from, which is cool.

I only watch it when it's raining !

I've got one of those, I only ever used it once, just to test it As said, I only use the TV if it is raining, and setting the sat dish up in the rain (it takes a while) is just too much faff. Must get around to sticking it on Ebay !

Yes we have one..12 volt 15inch Grundig with built DVD player and yes, on occasion we have took it with us, usually when the weather looks iffy but rarely end up using it.
The other 'issue' is TV reception...buy a portable DVB aerial and they are rarely good enough to get decent reception, buy something better and they are too big cumbersome to make the setup truly portable.

We have just got back from a 20 day trip to France...no TV but I did put about 14 films on the Netbook which I did watch......Jack Reacher/Monsters University etc.

I've got a 10" freeview LCD TV and a 12v signal booster. I use it mainly for checking the weather forecasts and passing the time on wet evenings. I recently got a Nikkai pocket TV for watching the MotoGP & F1 when I'm out in the wilds.

And I thought the analogue tv signals have all been turned off now for the digital switch over and all that? Or can portable tvs now pick up digital?? I'm out of date lol

Simple answer is "Yes", all the new TV's have digital freeview tuners
