Well, just had the bubble burst. Thought we might take a few weeks in Tassie in February 2010.

I have a 12 volt TV which has dodgy reception at times and need a set top box. Can a 240v box be used with a 12 volt TV? Have seen one at Dick Smith and they seem to think it OK, but sometimes they aren't as "Techie" as you lot. I have a 150 watt inverter when not on power. I know I can get a 12 volt STB on li...

The link to the info on the SA govt website is broken, so I...
