Daughter's birthday gift
« on: 25 January 2009, 14:20:34 »
We didn't go overboard at Christmas, instead promising or daughter a special present on her birthday next week. She told us she wants a TV/DVD for her bedroom (with Freeview). This would be very useful for us as parents as it might reduce the arguments with her younger sibling when they both want to watch different channels.

Anyhow, I've done some searching and I reckon this fits the bill. Not only does it also run on 12v (useful for going out) but it can also be used as a PC monitor (the next thing in the pipeline, methinks  :'(  ;))

Any thoughts?

Got an inbuilt PVR, too.  :y

Daughter did mention recording. I wonder how big a USB stick or SD card I would need for an hour-long programme?

Well, it arrived today.

In the end I got it from this seller, as it's a bit cheaper.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-19-Portable-Freeview-LCD-TV-DVD-Player-Combi-Combo_W0QQitemZ220351656410QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_AudioTVElectronics

What a cracking TV! The picture is great, it's sturdy and has more connections than you could shake a stick at. Now, all I need is an SD card or maybe a USB HDD for recording...

Highly recommended!  :y :y

oh, yes, and the daughter's happy, too!

I let her have a little look at it (after I'd spent two hours playing with the controls myself whilst she was at school!  ;).).
