(Home) TV

Hi there,
Just bought a Townace Super Extra, and what a great mpv she is, but thanks to this site have found out alot.
Back to the piont, I'm trying to get it to it's original condition and the first thing i'm trying to get is the TV and tuner. Read some threads where some of you have removed the orginal ones for the uk substituets, and if anyone still has theres lying around, i'm after a cheap one as a work colegue has told me he might be able to reconfigure it for uk use. If i can get one, and he can get it working (with me taking photo's) i'd be more than happy to email anyone the details on how its done. Thanks

Hi Kieran, It'd be more hassle than you think, not only is the monitor using NTSC format, so you would need to have a PAL to NTSC converter, you couldn't even directly feed the screen, as it works on a lesser number of lines than a UK spec TV. As regards the tuner, Japan use VHF for their transmissions, we use UHF, so you would need another converter to shift the freequencies for UK reception. Once you've done all that, you would still find a crap signal as you drive around, OK when parked, due to differing terrain/signal strengths/direction & polarisation. Better, though not OE, to put video/DVD set up into car, which is exactly what I have done.

Regards Rob.
