"It's 1962, America has lost WWII; the east is the Greater Nazi Reich and the west, the Japanese Pacific States. Amidst this oppression there is new hope - films that seem to show a different world. When her sister gives her a film and is then murdered, a woman comes to believe the films hold the key to freedom and becomes obsessed with finding their mysterious guardian, The Man in the High Castle."

Re: Man in the high castle
Do people watch DVDs when they're away, watch their laptops?, or have a 12v telly on the wall.
I do fight with this, I love a bit of tec, but don't want a great big telly in the thing (and should be loving the outside)!
In the syncro when we're away we generally just watched something on the laptop between us!

12v TV, hidden away in a cupboard, should i feel the need to catch up on the News or listen to the Radio, assuming i have a signal. I haven't yet worked out how to use a USB stick.

"5.0 out of 5 starsSaving me from cheap gin.

I bought this as an electronic babysitter, for my husband, who is five. Oh, wait, not five, 48. I was pig-sick of him watching Netflix on his mobile phone, with his netbook pinging up Facebook messages, with the TV on full blast, and the sound from his Netflix leaking out of his earphones, because he had that on full volume as well, to counter-balance whatever was happening on the TV he wasn't watching. It has worked a treat, as he now watches endless hours of crap on the big TV, while his netbook and phone ping Facebook messages at him, and he lies on the couch, re-arranging his crotch, and grunting.
The installation was easy, despite the fact that I only have full use of one hand, I didn't need any screwdrivers, and I'm not allowed hammers anyway. I did stand on an apple that the dog had taken behind the TV, for dog-reasons, and it squidged between my toes a bit, but I don't suppose that's a universal installation issue, not everyone having a dog that hides fruit behind the TV.
The plug-and-play nature of the device meant that I was able to install without asking for help from a man, and I didn't even break any fingernails. I'm relatively certain I've deleted any links to my social media from Amazon, so the husband won't be able to ferret about, at two in the morning, while he's watching something with boobs in, or yet another concert from the time period when I was being potty-trained, and see all of the nasty things I say about him.
For me, it has been £35 well-spent, although the glut of adverts offering it for £25 have been a bit of a kick in the crotch, I could have spent the extra £10 on gin, but it would have been cheap gin, so there would have been no real gain.

Re: Man in the high castle
We have a 22" led tv with built in dvd player on the wall over the bed. It's 240v powered but only has a draw of 50w so it should work with an inverter ok (not tested yet). We only watch it when it's raining & don't have an antenna or dish. It does however have an hdmi socket so we can plug it into the Ipad & watch films that we've downloaded or 'Real Telly' with a wifi connection. It cost £105.00 from my local trade wholesalers
