televisions!!!!!
we have a man here who is giving us a quote to take our furniture over, who insists that our television (new flat screen Samsung) wont work in Canada! Does any body know if it will? :fingerscrossed: He says that a transformer makes a constant noise :huh:

Re: televisions!!!!!
ours works but its to do with the voltage on the back, if its 110 - 220 then its fine and you wont need a transformer. I have heard transformers are horribly noisy but dont have personal experience of them

Re: televisions!!!!!
another point to consider is the tuner will not work, so your only option will be to connect it to a cable/satellite/pc....which I'm guessing most ppl do anyway :-)
good luck! |
Re: televisions!!!!!
We use our samsung without the transformer and it works ok, we also have 2 step up/down converters and make no noise at all

Re: televisions!!!!!
yeah, our Lucky Goldstar plasma works fine too.....but it's multi voltage :-)

Re: televisions!!!!!
I am not sure about NB but in Vancouver there are a few (CBC English, CBC French, Global, CTV and ? other) channels that broadcast over the air. You usually need a rabbit ears or similar aerial to pick them up.

Re: televisions!!!!!
If you plug your UK TV into a Canadian cable or satellite service it should work fine. Our UK TV still chugs along in the kids' playroom. We run a UK stereo off a transformer. I have never heard a peep out of it in terms of hum. If it's not nailed down - bring it!

Is there any thing that you left behind that you wish you had brought with you? Any advice is greatly appreciated :huh: |

Re: televisions!!!!!
The aerial input on your UK TV will be useless over here.
All the other inputs, Composite, RGB, S-video, YPbr, HDMI will work If you have SCART you'll need to get adpaters in the UK or buy on-line as they are not easily available here.. |
