Can you tell me what the movies will be on my flight in August????

But seriously, good post thanks for the info....Brings back nightmares about transmission theory in my Electronics lectures!!! Scary!!

Actually the answer is maybe. The sound carriers are different. You'll definatly get a picture but maybe no sound. The TV needs to be I (uk) and b/g ( oz) compliant. Check you Tv manual it should tell you.

The films might be Stealth The Island & Dukes of hazard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And whats next weeks lottery numbers in Aus please?

Bordy your just being silly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


4 23 24 37 41 49, but dont tell anyone!!!!!!!

I enjoy being silly but Thank you, I'll use them.

Ive got a bush TV and you can change the standard to a good selection

B/G D/K I*(uk UHF) I**(IRELAND vhf uhf ) L/L K1,

SO ILL TAKE A CHANCE.

we shipped our video player out and like you said pictures, but no sound.

we brought tv's and a video....TV's r ok but the video you cant record....well u get the piccie but no sound.....plays some pre recorded aussie videos....when it comes up its hump!!!!!

What make and models do yopu have???

we brought our tv with us, a Toshiba widescreen approx 4 yrs old, and guess what... it didnt work, pictures but no sound, but we managed to solve the problem by buying one of those digital boxes (i think the equivilant in the uk is freeview ??) and now it works perfect. Unfortunatley our DVD player does not play any of the dvds we hire at the local video shop as they are all region 4 and ours plays apparently every other region except for that one
i think i'll just wait until Target has a sale on and hopefully pick a new one up for around $80 (hopefully!!)

see if your dvd can be software hacked to play all region.

Did you just plug it in?
Check the set up menu and see if theres an option for country, make sure you've changed it!

I'm sure this is a really thick question but......
will the uk digibox work in Australia once re-tuned?
