Well despite your opinion, searches seem to suggest they (veltech) are generally considered to be quite good.

Is it a small tv you want ? all the veltech models seem to have freely. Check the returns policy on TV in case you do not like it

Ok this really weird. When it died I tried to restart it both on remote and box . Didn't work
changed the fuse which worked on kettle ! Changed the power lead nothing. Next day half awake, I pressed the remote and it worked :p:

That is the same restriction I have, but I prefer a smaller screen, just as I don't like sitting in the front row of the cinema.

Veltech are assembled in Port Talbot, and have controls that prevent too high a volume level being used and can limit the number of channels viewable, so are often sold to hotels.

Thanks basically , I use it to watch the news , when I am sorting out my food. So as long as it works via bb it's fine however I like things to last :DHence my question. As an aside does freely work in the same way as Freeview by that I mean list of channels that you click on . Not all the messing of streaming.

The programme guide I saw a while back was very intuitive and easy to use.

Which app or technology solution (freely, Veltech, or what) put it on the screen - it’s not obvious from the previous posts…

I believe it was Roku, that also had Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, BBC iPlayer, and ITVX pre-installed.

Roku is just fine, I have two Roku Express widgets that have been used on a variety of secondary TVs in our house for years. They have lasted much longer than the Amazon Fire Stick we had previously and have shown no signs of slowing down or getting less functional with age.

I also have an RCA branded TV with Roku built in, which is used in the midweek events room at church. Again, no issues, it runs every streaming app you could want it to run, without any problems at all.

Android is open to side load apks. That was the point I was trying to make.
