Guest themikey Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 As far as i know Asia/Pacific t.v's do not work in the EU as the recivers are different, and vice-versa. But I do not know about set top boxes. Also some cheap DvD players will also not play DvD's from different continents. They have a region code...I think its 1 - 5, but you can get them unlocked.

Guest Aldo Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 yes, you may need the scart converter for some dvd / sky boxes but they are cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest31881 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Should be OK but you will be able to use a set top box at least, as ALDO says Scart converter for DVD and set top boxs may be needed. pick up cheap enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We agreed it was better to return even though my other half didnt want to . I told him that the relationship would break down if we stayed due to him not being able to find work after hundreds of applications and me because i needed to be with my dad while he died. Two years later we are both desperate to go back, i have no regrets because my dad died at home with his family where he wanted to be. It cost us so much money and heartache. You can always go back again in twelve months, take care and enjoy the sun cos its freezin back here! happy new year mate annemarie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markandtraceyessex Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Yep we will be back in yorkshire pretty soon , between april and july I reckon , should be warmer by then , thanks hi, on the tv, we brought one back and it cannot pick up the channels, but ok as a monitor so set top boxes, sky tv, pc's etc will all work on them. we also bought ozzy "4 in line" extension leads and put uk plugs at one end, this means we can use our ozzy appliances without changing all the plugs. (although this could affect your house insurance if there was an electrical fire, so take care). on returning home; we returned to the uk after 5 months due to my wife being desperately homesick and missing her mum. it was my wifes idea to migrate in the 1st place. we have now been back in the uk 11 months and are planning to return to oz in june / july 2010!!! good luck wherever you end up.
