:
It's a tuner box for a plasma display panel. Older plasma screens used to have separate boxes feeding images to the screen (there were no SCARTS, HDMI etc on the screen itself), so us early adopters had to have a separate box lik this one. Since it's model-specific it's probably not going to be of use to 99% of the board.

posted a few times before, last time being early December 2008 when it was about £1 more.
a very niche product only useful to a very few.

It's being voted cold because it'll soon be a totally redundent piece of equipment - it it's not already.

1. It only recieves analogue tv signals - which are soon to be switched off forever.

2. It's only suitable for really old Panasonic plasma tvs that don't come with any kind of built in tuner.

3. If you did actually need one you'ld have to purchase a Panasonic circuit board, have it fitted to your really old panasonic tv to enable it to recieve an analogue signal.........

Can't see 'em shifting many of these somehow.......

But, that said - brilliant price if you do need one and should therefore be voted hot !

thanks for explaining why cold. it would be helpful if when it is a cold item someone puts in a comment to let us know why so we do not buy a turkey.
not long in the site and glad of any help when buying sale items.

So let me get this right, you have absolutely no idea what this is or what it does yet you post it as a "Hot Deal"?
Sorry m8, but that is a very flawed approach to bargain hunting and will lead to every single item in the world being posted as deals for us to wade through, bit like the internet and what this site is supposed to aid us in dispensing with really.
at that point most will leave this site for ever

65shazza - if you are going to buy anything and you dont know what it is then your an idiot.

I have a portable micro version of an alpha beta fully-manual multiplayer game for sale, bargain at £100 notes if you want it?

(who can guess what it is?)

This is designed for the Pana plasmas which didn't come with a tv tuner, ie. the TH**PW range.

You may or may not need a circuit board to be able to connect it to one of these, and they are like rocking horse poo, but it depends on what connections you intend to use.

The panels will be around 6 or 7 years old so not fantastic but they looked nice at the time, thin bezel so it was like a picture frame.

Not voted cold by the way as it will be useful to a small minority
