I would recommend a TV that has an external power supply (like a laptop computer) that provides 12VDC to the TV. Hunt around and you will find one. I currently have a 22" Element brand that I purchased from Target for $129.99 in my 2007-278. That way you can wire up a power plug (from Radio Shack or online) that plugs in and connects to your 12VDC battery system. No generator or inverter required. I went with 22" because that was the largest that would fit on the wall I have. I am sure you can find larger ones that use a 12VDC plug in as well. As for Antenna if you want local stations, you can place a small HD antenna about anywhere (again, mine has a built in antenna that is supposedly connected to the bow rails). I rarely use the antenna. I have Comcast/XFINITY cable and a ton of stuff is available on their app. You can also get apps for your phone for a lot of stations such as ESPN, HBO, FOX Sports, Fox News, etc.... plus on demand for all the cable channels like TNT, AMC, etc... If you have Wi-Fi available at the marina your not even using your phone data. My phone is a Samsung and you can get a cable online for a few bucks that has the phone plug on one end, HDMI on one end, and USB (for power to keep the phone charged) on the third end. Works great. Good Luck, |

I use an LCD 19" flatscreen. I don't use it when I'm not in the slip at the marina so I didn't worry about the 12VDC option. I am have cable (from Xfinity) so no antenna. Just another option. |
