There are a couple of things I will need to look at. The tv sounds like a good idea to replace mine that needs the set top box
So I got the brochure today and had a look. If I get a TV, how does it work if the aerial needs power and the tv can run off 12v.?
Hi,
The camping gear is available from the 8th February. The printed catalog is currently available in Aldi stores.
The website has only three items showing.
cheers

Hi @1DayIll , the 12 volt television just plugs into a 12 volt outlet (the ones you do not yet have or are thinking about?) and the amplifier for the aerial plugs into another 12 volt socket if you have one. If you are smart and only have one 12 volt outlet, get yourself a 12 volt plug with two or more outlets. These are usually fitted with a 10A fuse which is plenty for television and antenna amplifier. A lot of 12 volt televisions have a fitting for 240 volt connection so you can connect to the grid . The television still requires 12 volts and the 240 volt plug is just a transformer converting AC power to DC and dropping the voltage to 12 volts. You would still need a 12 volt outlet for the aerial amp though.
Ok thanks , I think. I need a new Tele so if this works will be. A good start if I am using 12 volt or not. A step in the right direction I guess
Just get a normal TV aerial just not a huge bugga you don't need a wind up just a extendable pole to stick it on that way you won't need an expensive aerial coupled to an expensive booster...............for watching some ordinary TV.
Just one thing I forgot to to advise you about @1DayIll . With the smaller van type antennae, you will need a masthead amplifier. If operating on grid, the normal type amp is sufficient. However, if operating off grid and using on board battery power, you must use a masthead amp suitable for use with 12 volts - approx $50.00 or so on Ebay. Some areas have poor television reception and that is where a masthead amp is vital to get any watchable picture. Even if you get a good domestic antenna as @Drover suggested, you may still have problems without an amp of some sort. I have a smaller tv antenna which I carry in back of tug and use an extendable pole to raise antenna to the required height and direction. Will see if i can send you a picture.
