I’m off tramping for three months in a few weeks time. My trusty old black and white telly’s about had it; since the analogue signal’s going to be non-existent soon I’m in the market for a digital replacement.

Needs to be fairly compact as I’ll be in a flat-top FM, so little storage space; not too bothered about DVD but if there’s a decent combi on the market I don’t mind.

Any suggestions please?

I’ve heard there are digital tv receivers you can plug into a laptop.
Not sure of the price or even if they’re any good but it might solve your ‘space’ issue. Plus you could still watch your DVD’s.

Hope this helps.

Nah, Mansel work for us! :laughing: I work out of Denbigh during the summer on pheasant feed, hence the tramping.

Know what you mean about the receivers but I ain’t got a laptop; thanks for that anyway.

Dont even bother !!! when you park up, find the nearest pub, and socialise with other people, dont lock yourself away in your little box…

I do if I can… unfortunately because of the nature of the work (delivering to pheasant shoots) I tend to park up in rural areas, sometimes more than a decent walk from the nearest boozer.

Since the smoking ban kicked in pubs have lost a lot of their appeal for me. It used to be nice to sit in a decent armchair with a ■■■ and a pint of real ale, but now I have to go outside for a smoke I might as well stay in the cab!

Bike rally most weekends though so that’s the socialising taken care of! :wink:

thanks for all the feedback guys.
