12v TV

Then it is a North Yorkshire mystery! Below is the detail from the site brochure regarding TV.


TV reception
TV reception on site is poor. Site has a TV booster system in place, giving out a analogue signal, receiving 12 channels.
 
Whatever the answer, new Avtex TVs are too 'modern' to handle the reception although I understand that other brands can.

The site is excellent so we will visit again soon and will ask for the answer to the mystery.

Hi ,Avtex are really good ,but watch out for the sockets provided ,mine has a Scart which we use for our Freeview+ box and a HDMI for our sat input ,but more recent TVs omit the Scart which could be a problem.    Regards       Paul

There's a bit of a clue there because there never were 12 analogue channels!

There were four universally available and Channel 5 in many areas towards the end. That means the site must have a private system of some sort, receiving digital channels and converting them to analogue. It seems a  quite bazaar way of going about things, if you have a distribution system why not just distribute the digital signal in the first place.

Avtex are a bit pricey but ours offers a good picture quality on tv/dvd, 12v or mains and, very important in a confined space, a very good viewing angle up to 180 degrees. We had a cheap Technics set from Tesco before but you had to sit directly in front of it for any decent picture and we actually chucked it out. Yes I know the moral !

Sorry that should read 120 degrees
