the reason i ask this is - when i moved to Spain i brought my British TV with me and even though i got a lovely picture , i couldn't get any sound. Does anybody know the reason why?

No. The U.K. and Spain use different variants of the PAL system.
The sound-carrier offset is different so you won't hear U.K. sound on a t.v. receiver sold in Spain, or vice versa.

Only if you plug it in to a 13a socket and a aerial
Hello everybody. Most EU countries now use 230volts.
Standardised a couple of years ago. Was in Spain at new year and my 240v stuff worked fine

there is a voltage difference from uk to the rest of europe that is why your tv didnt work properly in europe ,but the increase in uk power will damage the tv capacitors

The voltage is different. we use 240. they use about 100 so do not buy anything electrical to bring back here. Sorry!

you can buy a reverse adaptor from say, maplins, to use it over here if its 110 volts... have you checked in the menu to set the volume level.. or mute button... if not, speaker is blown... try headhones.. if they work. its the speaker. good luck
