G'Day all,
I am hoping that someone might be able to provide me with some advice on the use of a TV purchased in the USA for use in Australia.
Firstly, I hope I am writing in the correct forum. Please let me know if I am not and i'll move/delete as appropriate.
I am from Australia and currently living in the US. I am moving back to Australia in Feb next year. I am really wanting to purchase a TV here in the states. I am concerned that it may not work when I get back to Aust and do not want to waste my money if this is the case.
I will summarise my question in the below points so as not to go on and on.
- The model I am looking at is a LG 60LA7400 (has dual voltage ps - good for Aust 240VAC 50Hz)
- I am aware of differing standards i.e. NTSC for the US and PAL for Aust
- I understand that I am not going to be abel to plug my antenna directly into the back (on board tuner) in Aust due to differing broadcast formats
- In aust I have a TiVo which outputs HDMI, will my US purchased TV be able to display broadcast TV through this if it is via HDMI in (TiVo)?
- I understand the smart features (netflix) will not work with a Aust based ip (ways to get around this)
Any clarification would be appreciated!
Thank you in advance!
Luke
