Replacing Sole TV's with newer digital units
Has anyone installed just an ordinary 110V TV like we would buy at Walmart? I understand the Sole units are built especially to withstand vibration experienced on a boat but I really don't need the 12V option. We only watch at a dock or with the genset operating.
Any experiences out there regarding TV change out? At one marina where we stayed for a month the local cable company rented us a converter box to turn the signal back to analog and that worked fine. I am not aware of any universal cable signal converter but if one exists that would be the obvious solution . Thanks for any input.

Re: Replacing Sole TV's with newer digital units
"Makin Waves" response seems to say that any new TV that will fit in the space should work and that makes sense.
I have a Direct TV/KVH system also BUT it does not allow me to receive local channels (other than when I am at my home marina). I like to see local channels as we cruise up and down the East coast. Local weather forecasts are usually more indepth.
When we get settled in Maryland for the summer I'll head to Walmart or Best Buy. Small TVs are pretty cheap these days.
Thanks again.
