TV's in OZ
Hi ya,
I am moving out to Sydney with my partner in March and I am sorting out shipping currently. Is there anyone out there who can say for sure that a UK TV will work in Oz? Is so, what did you do to get it going?
Any help would be expremally useful.
Regards to all....

1. bring it with you & get it adapted when you get here. Price around $50-100 I believe.
2. Bring it & buy a cheap aussie video player so you can use the tuner in that to pick up local stations
3. leave it in the UK, sell it & use the money you get to buy a new one here.
Plenty of previous threads on this subject, have fun

I think the general consensus is to bring TVs out. If you intend getting cable/Foxtel, you won’t have any problems. If you only intend watching terrestrial TV, there may be a couple of channels you can’t pick up.

Just shipped two TV's to OZ (Adelaide).
They will only receive pictures through the arial, there is no sound.
They work fine when going through an OZ video player or Foxtel satelite box.
Also ours are widescreen and only a few years old and they seem to be quite expensive here, so we are glad we brought them. It would have cost more than a cheap vidoe player to replace them.
All the best,
Tracey

UK TVs may work in Australia though whether they get a better reception than OZ TVs I'm not sure.
Should have a better chance of working in Sydney, they're more cosmopolitan there.
Each to their own...

My brother took his digital tv over and it works perfectly well. The menu comes up with a choice of countries and he picked Australia - no Aussie VCR ! So if you have a digital it seems that you have nothing to worry about though if you are not sure then you could always ring the company who make your tv and ask.

We have now decided to take our 8 month old wide screen digital TV but a small problem is that we didnt keep the box it came in. Did any of you who shipped it have this problem? I'm wondering if the shipping company will sort this out no problem or whether we should try to get a replacement box. They are pretty heavy and would I imagine be easy to damage if not handled with care.
Any thoughts

There are places in Perth and I am sure other states that advertise conversion services, (not that expensive) most new TVs are capable of the mod, check with manafacturer if unsure.

The removal company quoted us to put the television in a protective wooden box for a cost of £75.00.
