Can we get UK TV's to work in Oz?
Hi
We have finally got our container from England (in Melbourne) after having to wait 5 months! We thought that our televisions would work here but there seems to be a problem particularly with the sound reception. Does anyone know if there is anything that can be done, such as a different cable, to make them compatible here?
Thanks
Karen

otherwise as other people have advised a digital box will cure it-my local Woolies has them for $79.

Also have a search on the net for your make/model TV engineers manual.

just use a set top box / VCR of some form
use a scart / RGB / composite (yellow plug) connection to your telly rather than the RF 'ariel' input
