I use an iPad mini with the Eye TV module which runs on their app. As the iPad screen is quite small Iwas thinking of some thing larger with a DVD player as well. Any thoughts. Great video as always. Thanks .

Looks brilliant, wonder if the aerial would work on a canal boat!? Thank You for information 🐱🐶🐱
I'm very tempted to buy one of these
Love your reviews and travel stories. They really cheer me up. Great couple and love the dog and new baby. August TV looks brilliant. I wanton and desperately want a California to go with it. Will get one soon I hope.
Great Review, Thank you
What one!...looks fab - trots off to investigate the link. Thanks
this would be a fab little tv for the kiddies to have in the back of our caravan :-)
Hi are you able to plug a DVD player into it thanks.
Just watched your video and was impressed so clicked on the link and amazon have no stock and no idea on when it’s back in stock. So now on the hunt to see what I can find seems to have been up graded to 10.1” and dearer.

Great review Shaun I have just taken up the offer on Amazon
whats the best camper to go winter camping in, also is it better to have a 4x4?
In your video you mention the sound is "OK for something this size". I use a AUX lead to connect to the van speakers. It's much better, just need to watch the volume ! Thanks for the discount code.
Hi where didn’t you get your camping moon chairs from?
August also do a wifi freeview decoder that you can link to your ipad. ideal for cali, only snag is no remote
What about the media player capability? Did you try that? What formats does it play?
I got a mini projector together with a google chromecast. DVBT is not good anymore in mainland europe, so I watch via Internet
Great review as always.. this sounds like such a useful tv and media input.. used the link and got mine with the discount code.. 👍🏻 tangle 🧚♂️ 😂😂
Good review. We’ve just come back from Scotland. At every campsite, folk forgot to use the volume switch. Almost every caravan, motorhome or tent had a TV or monitor playing films etc. and it became a nuisance. Am going happy campers will begin to use the volume controls 🤓 - or get a good book out.
Keely Hammond get a TVbegone keyring. hours of fun
Just wanted to thank you guys for your videos, they’re really fun and informative. Kudos to you on the discount codes too, it’s saved me £20 buying this tv with the Cali2018 discount code. I also used the previous CZcams10 discount code at CamperVanTastic, for the bike rack and Brandup storage bag for the rack, saving a further £54 on that purchase too. Keep up the good work!
Many thanks

The tangle fairy, I find, Is usually my wife. She calls it “shortening the cable” 😁👍
does the tv still work?
Would the aerial work indoors on a hospital ward?
We are currently looking for a tv to put in our 1977 Airstream Argosy that we are renovating, so we will have to see if this works, we may go a little bit bigger if you have any other recommendations! Great channel, look forward to checking it out more!
They do sell a 10inch one as well which has a few more features I believe.
Very cool will have to check into this, thank you!
Great review guys, it looks about the same size as my I pad 9.7 inch screen, would you put a screen protector on it? We have 2 x TV in our MH both with inbuilt freeview and DVD player, one is a smaller avtex which we can watch from the drop down bed above the lounge, the other is fitted in the rear lounge, and it’s also used for Nintendo switch ! . Great for the clingons aka grandkids lol, once again big 👍x
We don't have a screen protector on ours, we just make sure it's put away in that "bubble wrap" packaging when it's not being used
Doubt it would work in France, where we live & wondered have you tried it in Europe? No TV in our 5.4m Westfalia Jules Verne & thought we would use a laptop with wifi. At home we have a sat dish for UK channels & an internet sub for everything else!
Got this tv but can’t get it to recognise any channels unless I plug it into my house aerial which isn’t really the point of having this tv! So I it is going back. :(
I’m really impressed your chairs are stable enough for Mr Bentley to get on off without tipping over
Reduced to 99.99 at the minute so super cheep with the working promo code! Thanks for the review guys, new to your channel and really enjoying it
I like it , would the Aerial work indoors like in a bedroom?
I don't see why not
The only downside is the screen is LCD get your other telly is led so the better picture
If it doesn't come with dog hair, I'm not interested! 😂I think our van came with a TV... we should probably get it out of the box at some point. Good video guys. Hope Bentley is feeling better. 👍
Ha ha! Yeah he's all good thanks
I Think the remote that size would get lost too easily especially in a caravan/campervan/motorhome
Looks like a great accessory for the van. Did you have trouble getting a signal when on remote campsites??
Great discount too 👍🏼
Every time we've used it it's found loads of programmes. I wouldn't say we've been anywhere I call remote though really.
Great vid as ever. Can you tell me where your chairs are from? They look very comfortable.
I think they’re Quest Elite OR from Costco. We bought them a while ago so I’m not 100% sure. But they are super comfortable!
Looks a good bit of kit, but there are quite a few people that haven't got inverters in their custom campervans, so would of been nice to be provided with a 12v>9v dc cigarette plug adaptor for when not on hook-up.
You can add one when you purchase on Amazon. I think it’s £7.99
Thanks for the tip. Bentley seemed like a tough audience :-)
I agree- he seemed more interested with his rawhide chew :-)
Probably better to just buy a receiver (august has those too) if you have a laptop you travel with, I imagine it would have a bigger screen than this.
A good review of a product that is at least 10 years past it's sell by date!
They didn’t have digital in 2008 😂
Digital terrestrial television actually launched in the UK on 15 November 1998 and Freeview was well up and running by 2005. That wasn't really my point though. I'm 40 and I don't watch TV like this anymore, it's on demand through my laptop or tablet at or away from home. If you want live UK tv then great, but why would you want to pay extra to watch it on a 9" screen? Most people have a tablet that's at least 9" - why not buy this and save 40 quid: Just my opinion of course and I enjoy your channel guys so have subbed :-) All the best.

Wow time flies! I appreciate what you’re saying but there’s also a lot of people who don’t have tablets (like us) or don’t want to give their tablets to their kids (or the other way round maybe 😂).
For £80 it’s a very cheap way to watch some entertainment in the evening.
Thanks for watching 👍
A Bus And Beyond Agreed, also I don’t particularly want to leave my £400 iPad in the van while I’m not in it, whereas this is £80.
Great review, I wanted one so followed the link, added the discount code, but then unwittingly and without warning suddenly found myself signed up for Amazon Prime which I Do NOT WANT, least of all for £7.99 a month. It’s taken 20 minutes to cancel the Prime ‘service’ I never agreed to and now I’m so pissed off I’m not ordering the TV.
would be nice if it ran off 12v... but never mind that, tell us more about those chairs please
You can buy a 12V adaptor with it from Amazon
aah ok.. that makes it more interesting, thanks
Why not use a mini hd projector I do
No 12v plug come with it?
You can buy one for it
No ciggy lighter adapter...?
You can add it when buying on amazon
Good review guys, a nice bit of kit. Probably more a question for August but why doesn't it come with a proper 12v lead for your 12v sockets in car/camper etc? Instead you have to waste a lot of your battery power via the inverter converting dc to ac for the tv's power cable to convert it back to dc again??????? Ridiculous.
Come on August supply a proper 12v lead too.
Great review though and even better to see Bentley again!! Cheers - Dude
You can buy a 12V attachment if you want/need it 😊
I'm sure you can, but surely it really should be included if pitching to this market via yourselves don't you think? Maybe if enough people comment on this on here they will include one, after all not everyone has an inverter.
Wished i had seen this before buying mine. I paid £300 for a 16 inch Avtex 🤬
Surprised there's no 12v power supply, seems like a bit of an oversight!
You can add it on Amazon
Using a small 12v - 9v 'buck converter' found on ebay would be a lot better than running this off an inverter :)
I don't point cos my old man and three dogs and six grandchildren sit on furniture!🤣🤣🤣
12v
thank so much, been looking for something like this to watch out in the awning.. they do also have a 10'' model, have you guys had the opportunity to try it and if so what do you think? the 10'' is a bit more expensive but has a higher picture quality and can be used as a monitor.. decisions decisions. this is the one i'm talking about: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001GHAMB8/
We’re hoping we might get to try that one out sometime too! 😊
If you're trying to place a product in the campervan ano mh market and If that product runs on 9v dc, you should at least pack a 12v dc to 9v dc adapter as standard. Plus, it's missing vesa support holes so people can place them in the wall. Not for me anyway.
I am Jansla
We just use iPads
Don't like it! The open TV channels are crap, no VESA mount option and it is not a 12v. Waste of money!
احبكما هههههههههههههههههههههههههههههه
ظ
Just use an EyeTV with a tablet, multifunctional and not pig ugly like this is.
Pigs are so pretty!
No 12v no good your wasting energy
Except we’re not, as you can buy a 12v plug as an add on if you need/want it.
CaliforniaCamping hi guys, so has it got a 12v socket on tv, not a 12v adapter changing voltage up or down as that’s still not what people want , got to be 12volts in port , and if it has its crucial you should have mentioned that, cause you would get more interest , and if you did sorry I missed it,
But good Chanel always watching 👍
No it’s a 9v TV and you can add a 12v adaptor from Amazon when you purchase the TV
