Young man, I know you have dreams, and I would like to see you achieve them, but it is not as easy as you think it is to immigrate to the US.

I strongly suggest you read the Pulaski's Guide to immigrating to the US. It is at the start of this forum.

What next? Probably berating us for being so insensitive to a newbie, while asking for advice on how to work in the US "cash in hand" or perhaps a tirade about how the illegals have it easier than poor, honest, law-abiding white folk who just want to escape all these bloody darkies that are flooding English shores.
good here ain't it.

My Bush LCD HD Freeview (don't know the model number) TV works just fine plugged into a step up transformer and british gangway (along with UK multiregion dvd player and cd player) but is connected to a US cable box to get the signal.

Hope that helps.

Don't move to the USA and then you won't have to worry about losing money on selling this beloved TV...
