TV on leisure battery?

[MarionK]

Not being a fan of TV, this is not a question I thought I would ever ask!

So, I gather you can get 12v TVs. Do they have to plug in to the cigarete lighter or can you wire them in? How many hours am I likely to get before the battery needs recharging? typical 11ah leisure battery afaict (I won't be using electric for hot water, or lights or fridge (except for controlling gas and maybe not even that :S )

We've just got a cheap Aldi 12 v TV it's fine for us as we don't watch a lot anyway.

There is a tiddy little aerial with it. Is it any use at all? (Reception is rubbish at home, so not a fair test.)

Guess what I found when I cleared some shelf space to put all the new tv cables and bits and bobs . . .

You could try it and see suspect it's rubbish!
