    Default Cheap 7" TFT LCD monitors

    Just noticed in the current Big W catalogue, TFT Colour 7" monitor, a portable dvd replacement screen AWA brand - $48. Be good for aligning dishes outside & easier to use than a satfinder for newbies.

    They work really well, especially for aligning the dish.

    Would be good, just sticky tape it to your Dynasat1 mini and you have everything you need at your disposal .
    12Vdc to 240Vac convertor and you can do alignment in remote locations.

    A very cheap small footprint scanning fta box that was around for a short while. Cheap and cheerful with quite a solid menu for the price.

    Hey GuRu, with AV input, does this mean you could hook this up to your 500s and get pics, or does one need a TV tuner in the scheme of things???

    Thanks

    Standard 3 pin RCA AV plugs to 3.5mm "headphones" type jack which plugs into the back of the TV. Basically it is a TV, just smaller and without the analogue/digital tuner.
