TV in turkey

[raff]

We bought a TV from Eren Spot which packed up after a week - apparently in Turkey your guarantee is for REPAIR only - Bekir came and took it away for repair but when it hadn't come back after a week we were understandably a bit p****d off (we were only there for 3 weeks) Bekir said it could take 6 weeks to fix!!! We insisted on having our money back and Bekir did give us the option of having a different TV(all more expensive) or the money back, though he did insist that we weren't entitled to it.  We then went to Migros and bought a cheaper one.

Hi all, Just to advise you that its worth talking and asking about the beach area when your out having foods and drinks because like us you may be able to buy a tv from a local. We paid £40 for a full size tv with remote which works perfectly although the Digiturk installed can be a little tempermental with the signal at times. Also a good time to buy a tv is at the end of the season as the shop owners have to give up the rental on thier shops at the end of the season and they sell everything cheap.. even the tv they have been watchin!
Just get chatting and spread the word as there's always someone who knows someone and the locals will always try and find one for ya even if they can earn a tenner for doing it and then everyones happy!

Thanks again Kellie - my fridge was stuffed with figs last trip as neighbours kept bringing me bowls full of them. One day the electric was off all day as they were replacing a lamp post and a neighbour brought over freshly cooked cheese and herb pancakes for us.  It is amazing to find such kindness and generosity in such a short space of time.

thank you all for your advice.  We are using the tv for viewing dvd's only so no signal received.  We will try again in October and hopefully the tv will work.  Sorry for delay in replying been away for a few days.
