The house is selling and we are ready to start packing certain items for shipping to Australia. Can anybody tell me if our TVs will work over there. It is only 2 years old

If i remember rightly your tv will work but without sound, you would have to buy a cheap vcr in oz to use a reciever as Oz sound is transmitted using the PAL system.Your video will only be good enough to play back your UK videos.To be certain i would do a search on this site as you will get more specific info, as this question has cropped up a few times.

Try these threads, and DON'T use a vcr as a tuner as you won't be able to watch one programme while you record another. If it's only 2 years old you should be OK as a lot of TV's are 'multi standard' now and you can change the 'standard' through the menu functions. All our TV's are 'multi standard' ones and we won't have to get them converted. Either way, you should be able to get it converted easily enough.
