Any Probs With Aussies TVs In UK?
I know this has probably been asked to death, but i did a quick search and could only find posts relating to taking UK TVs down here and not the other way round.
Our TV seems to be on its last legs, but because we are ultimately going back to UK, i dont want to buy a good quality one if it will be a prob when we go back. If this is the case i might just get a secondhand one on ebay to see us through till we leave. If they do work ok i am happy to spend some money on one.

We were told that if you get a good quality TV and it has the European sound settings on it you will be ok without any adapters. Ours were cheap good guys own brand which obviously only had Oz settings.

Thanks Louise. I will go take a look to see what has the euro settings. My daughter bought a Samsung when I was staying with her and i saw the very same model in the shops here. I will check to see if it will be ok.
The adaptors this guy sold you? Are they readily available in the shops in UK?

If you ask the supplier if the TV has the European settings though and get them to show you how to change it when you need to, you shouldn't need adapters. I think ours were just cheap TVs designed just for use in Oz.
Good luck

we have bought a new tv here in oz and are hoping that it will work back in uk i phoned up samsung and they said it should work with a set top box so we hope they are right i think that a british dvd player might help bring the signal in to heres hoping anyway

One of our crappy telly's that we bought in Oz worked here fine, even the sound without a set top box, but another one that we bought there with a built in DVD works but no sound except with freeview box.
