TV - Does anyone watch it ?

Genuine question, I had TV in my last few RRs, apart from looking and saying, ' oh look the TV works', I have never watched it as as TV, is it used as a feature or is it a gizmo waiting to break Thumbs Up 2013 L405 Autobiography Baltic Blue

When England got to the Rugby World Cup Final in 2019, it fell on a day that I was shooting. As the game was being played down under, kick off was around breakfast time, so we watched the first half in the bar where we’d met for breakfast. I was then asked by the shoot captain if I wouldn’t mind using my car as guns transport, to which I said fine, but why not use your Disco? Well, he said, your car has a telly and we can watch the second half on the way to the first drive.

So that’s what we did, until it was obvious England weren’t going to win, by which time we had arrived at the first drive location. We even had the Welsh gamekeeper watching through the open window before lining out on the pegs.

In 6 years ownership, that’s the only time I’ve used the TV!

I would watch it more, but it shuts down after three minutes or so when the engine is not running...
Any IID aficionados out there who can tell me how to extend this time?

W 2017 - L405 SC - WOW! just WOW!
2014 - L405 4.4
2010 - L322 3.6 - Carried me 100,581 miles then broke big-time

There are 10 types of people in this world;
Those that understand binary,
and those that don't.

I use it occasionally if there's something on and waiting for her indoors shopping or whatever, but not so much now as I need a new battery so I get about 10 minutes with the engine off and too expensive to keep the engine idling just to watch the TV.

Kids do use the RSE though, DVD changer in the boot, stock up before a trip, Mrs though just sticks to her pad. Can still buy cheap DVDs from Asda thankfully.

I watch it while my other half is in Tesco's/Sainsbury's or Aldi's, it does shut down after 10 minutes but a push of a button (radio) on it comes again for another 10 minutes, when the battery starts draining it shuts down after 3 minutes.
I love going shopping!

I generally don't ever use these systems, but did catch some of the football last week whilst waiting to collect my boys one evening. Worked perfectly (and for longer than I was anticipating without the battery intervention warning)! 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDv8

On the day of the late Queen's passing, I was driving up to Wasdale Head with my mate to run a chairty walk the next day. We watched the rolling footage all the way up (well, he did!) with the rolling BBC footage on the screen, and talk radio on the speakers, listening to all of the discussion.

Other than that, it was good to keep the kids quiet whilst waiting for the cross channel ferry to board FFRR SDV8 Autobiography

We have a telly in the living room.

And no, we don't watch that either. we've gone years without one so I now wonder what my reason for buying it was Rolling Eyes

I think there's TV in the Fatty as there's a button on the screen that says so but I don't know if it works.

The kids in the back are now too old now to watch DVD's, they are glued to their mobile phones Sad

Don't think I have ever watched any TV in my car !
