Hi all especially to 280DA owners who dont have a tv and want to add.
I bought my boat used and there was no tv. I'm spending a lot of time on board and wanted a tv. I bought a 12 volt 19 inch lcd tv also have built-in dvd slot, usb port and a memory card reader port. It is a local brand called Next(producing satelite systems, home tv/stereo, car audio/navigation and many others) but the board in the tv is Samsung and the picture quality is very high.
I bought the tv, big size glomex antenna and a telescopic leg to mount the tv to the wall behind inside the port side lounger.
I disassembled the base flag mast on the radar arch and put the glomex with a short metal bracket at same holes wire down the cable of anttenna through the left inside the radar arch to the port side of engine room and then continued it inside the candid panel of the mirrored cupboard of the mid berth and finalized it in the main distribution panel. So put the glomex signal gain controller just below the inverter button on the 220 volt panel.
Isntalled the tv leg to the wall and wired the antenna, power and voice cables through the ceiling of the mid berth's privacy curtain which you cant see normally then attached them to the tv.
The leg was standart size but I made weld metal profile to enlarge its size so when I fully open the leg and turn it to view from cockpit from helm, port side lounger and the right side (only near to the entrance door from platform) of the aft bench seat can easily watch tv. Also very easily watch it from dinette, v- berth and if you open the door could partly watch from wc.
There is a few general pictures of the lcd tv project but as soon as I'm gonna add pictures of how I wired it from the ceiling and the different watching positions from cabin wc and outside.
Best regards.
