I saw this advert in a window that said: “Television for sale, £1, volume stuck on full.” I thought, “I can’t turn that down.”

I got one of these and put a wheel trim on the side of my house for the simulated sky effect to put robbers off even more

It's 8-bit but there is a firmware upgrade on the way.

Thanks OP Combined with a sutable timer this can be a realistic detterent whilst you are on Holiday.

morpheus to SCOUSEKEVIN

The one I have doesn't need a separate timer, its got a daylight sensor on the back and can be set to come on for 4 or 8 hours from dusk.

Can you get wall bracket for this? If so how do you fix to wall? Do they do one with smart features or should I get a kodi box? Can anyone recommend a good kodi box but must be from UK. :smiley:

My neighbour told me their cctv showed their burglar discreetly threw stones at their window from outside their boundary, ascertaining they weren't home, so one of these wouldn't have helped. Good price but I'm putting the quid towards an alarm.

Bit extravagant ime (I worked for TYCO for 20 years) they normally just knock on the door with a lame excuse.

Even if the remote doesn't allow you to adjust the remote most TVs will still have manual controls which are often hidden from view on the back of the set.

Does anyone else leave their tv on when they go on holiday? I read somewhere the power usage of standard LCD tvs is now super low so it's not too big a deal. Can anyone confirm?

6 Apr 17 #66

And what I do when I go on my hols is employ a family to sit in and watch the tv. It gives the perfect illusion of someone sitting in and watching the tv.
If I go away for too long though I have to give them annual holiday entitlement which causes all manner of issues.

A random nobrand 32" apparently uses around 65W, which would be in the region of 25p per 24 hours.

Why would anyone bother trawling other users profiles and commenting like this? Weird and creepy.

Haircut_100

6 Apr 17 #71

That's just a waste of electricity and not really practical if you are going away for say a week or two. With these tv simulators you can put them on a timer plug so that they come on a certain times of the day or night, and of course they only use a small amount of electricity so are much 'greener' than leaving a tv on all day if you are out.

Haircut_100

6 Apr 17 1 #72

Voted Cold, as it's not 1080p. :stuck_out_tongue:

Actually joking aside this is a scorching hot deal, this is a superb bargain for £1, a paid a lot more than that from Maplins for mine.

Anyone know if this thing comes with a DC adapter? It might be worth a quid to pick up something like a 12v 2amp psu alone.

Does it do Black and White for those who watch Vintage Tv?

A 'television' is a device for the masses who can neither afford or use a P.C. actually.
Tho I do agree, this device is better than east enders, aaand, the BBC can kiss my pale hairy one.

Cinn to joe_shmoe

6 Apr 17 #94

Please do not use these, my neighbour has one, along with a nightlight. They are totally unrealistic, (no one watches shows that light the room up purple, then green, then darkness) we just laugh because we use it as an indicator as when she has gone to sleep.

They look especially bad when another neighbour is actually watching real TV and you can see the comparison.

Thieves pay little attention to ordinary folk actually; its darkness for long periods they notice.
tho if these things do look a bit obvious maybe point it at the floor and have a dimmed light on a timer.

moosery2

7 Apr 17 #97

I wouldn't call 100 watts+ super low!
No, they still use a tonne of power, sure it's less than it used to be, but an LED bulb is like 5W.

Cold, these LED sets suffer from terrible backlight bleeding

Ideal for when the licence man comes knocking and when he tells you he could see the flickering of the (non-licenced) TV thru the curtains and you just bring this out.

F*off Mr Tv Licence man Lol!

Yeah I reckon bring it to the door flashing away and say "What you mean THIS TV.. you ****?"

Wait just long enough to see their face, then SLAM the door on them!

Actually, I have just walked past a house with a tv ish blue light on in the front room.
It was obviously one of these,it wouldnt fool a burglar.
As to the comments about electricity being too dear to leave a real tv on, well,
100 watts U.K. price is 1 pence per hour, or £1.68 / week.
If you can set it up with a timer dusk till midnight this is not going to be noticeable.
A pc and monitor running a dvd on loop would be similar total.

Or you could save up for an ED 209 and WASTE any intruders. ;#}
