Just to combine a few of the comments above.

If your TV has HDMI etc, that is no indication that it will work. A plasma and LCD TV will work in Aus or can be made to. Simple. You may have to play with the power supply since that is the biggest issue you will have when coming from Canada/US, but it can be done. certainly cheaper than selling (and losing money) on nearly new TVs and then buying new ones.

Will they work in regards reception of terrestrial TV? Most likely yes, but if they do not, then you would just need a TV tuner box (either SD or HD) and they will then work fine.

Given there's a good chance you will get Foxtel or Austar, this will negate the issue again.

The ONLY TV's that will not work in Aus are CRT's that are over 36" screens or over, because of the magnets used within them and the earth's magnetic core. I know it sounds strange but its true having experienced it myself. Very few people have these old CRT's any more so it's less likely to impact people.

Basically, they can be made my work and in my book, that will always be cheaper than selling at a loss and buying new.

The model of my largest TV is samsung pn50b540>
As far as having multiple TV's...
Try living in Winnipeg for a couple of years...It snows at end of October till April. It gets as low -40 degrees (yes that is minus and we have had -52).
So you find that you spend a little more time in doorrs.
Hence a move to OZ...
Thanks

I hope you've been to Oz as the temp difference will be a shock to your system going from -40 to +40c.

You may not need all the tv's as Oz tv isn't that good and you'll hopefully be spending more time outside due to the warmer climate.

Depending on where your going you may be able to save some money leaving most of your winter clothes in Canada.

Assuming Canadian prices are similar to Usa it would be a good idea to stock up on cheaper summer clothing prices before moving.

Take plenty of shorts.

I brought a no name 42inch lcd tv from Dick smith with a 3yr warranty
for $499 it has a Samsung screen.
Now you are in Canada do they use NTSC instead of PAL?
With all the convertions neaded i would say sell them for whatever you can get.

We have two with Foxtel. We bought a new one while waiting for our container to arrive.

Free to air TV is rubbish in all three countries I have lived in, including the UK. I had to pay a TV license for not even watching the BBC.

We have two with Foxtel - otherwise the kids would want to fill my planner with their crap.

We also neeeeeeed multiple tvs for all the bleeding games consoles

Bottom line - listen to opinion or listen to facts.

Your TV's will work over here or can be made to.

It will cost less to make them work than it will to sell and buy new ones.

That simple. Listen to people who have done it, rather than people who have not!

Although UK TV can be good in parts, they also show a lot of rubbish too (Ant and Dec? Lock and load). The beauty of having to rely on downloads/iplayer etc, is that it is very easy to watch only what you want to - and with no ads.

So very very true. Thank heavens for The Box.
