Anyone know if a TV and DVD from the UK would work in Dubai or am I just better of buying one if and when I am there? Thanks.

A brand new 32in flat screen Panasonic will cost you Dhs2,299 at Lulus and you can get a decent DVD for less than Dhs150 so do the maths...

It should do I have known people take them out here with them although you will have to sign up with one of the sat companies like showtime and get a decoader box for the t.v to work on its own. with dvd should be ok!

kewl - thats useful, I think i'll be better of just getting a new one there with a warranty and all.

We brought our TV out with us as it was a fairly new flatscreen. Works perfectly will, if that helps!

Saj786

That is helpful - Ive only got a 32" samsung LCD thing but its my DVD with surround sound speakers im quite attached to - well, i now know that it can work in Dubai - thanks again.

scarletfan

We brought the stereo and surround sound etc over as well.
Also, electricity sockets here are exactly the same as UK.

Saj786

i thought the sockets were 2 pin's there? i know the voltage is the same but i thought u would need one of those travel adaptor thingy's? hmm, interesting.

scarletfan

No, sockets are the same as back in UK.
Wierd thing is you buy electrical stuff over here, some have 3 pins, some have 2 pins!

Warranty!!!!!!!
Read spugy's fridge repair thread.........if it goes wrong you will be waiting years for it to be repaired ...no replacments here you have to give it over to be repaired and wait for it to come back! Or in Spugy's case wait for someone to turn up and repair it!....

Saj786

Yep, i did read the fridge repair thread - so basically, the warranty aint worth the paper its writen on - thanks, i shall keep that in mind

seems that way, I have a brand new 42" panasonic flatscreen which is the dogs bollocks, cost £600.
