Converting Small TV to 12 volts

[rtbates]

The 'brick' output may well be 12v AC or 12v clipped AC. With the ac to dc rectifier being in the tv.


How about a simple INVERTER...

Assuming you guys n gals run Laptops have you ever thought about using your laptop for tv ? not the crap they advertise as 'free tv' on the internet. There's a programme called PC TV and it's maybe 20 bucks or so, once the programme is installed on your Laptop, simply plug the dongle into a USB , plug your tv antennae into the end of the dongle, hit search and bingo, the system works pretty well worldwide(assuming there's a tv signal and of course it saves cluttering up the boat.

We do that in the cabin all the time, but we have the sharp in the V berth in front of the anchor locker, with speakers and it makes a really nice little cinema ; -)

Yer crackin me up Dave.

We bought our Cal for $2500. We have done all the work on her ourselves. We have maybe spent 6k on equipment, supplies tools etc.

The Sharp TV and speakers and a little DVD player I picked up for 40 bucks at a swap meet.

I don't need any help on sailing cheaply.
