UK TV's work in OZ ??
 
Just a quick and possible silly question but another question then needs to be crossed of off the ' What do we do with that' list...
I have heard that most UK televisions will work in OZ apart from the sound carrier which is different. We have a number of LCD TV's we wish to take and wondered if anybody knows of a sound converter you could get that converts from UK Frequency to OZ frequency...:rolleyes: … Or is it easier not to bother with and buy new ones over there.
What about Digital transmitted TV in OZ. We are heading over to Brisbane/Gold coast soon. Is there anything similar to UK free View ??
Many Thanks Dave

There's quite a few threads on this one, have a search... From memory there's a couple of solutions but nothing to get worried about...
