Help with moving to Egypt

[micki moo]

Hi, I need help. I am moving to Hurgarda in May 2010, I'm trying to organise myself in advance. I have thousands of questions but todays one is Will my Sony Bravia TV work in Egypt. Sounds simple but having called Sony and them not being able to help?????? Not sure who will be able to?

Hi,

You can buy Sony televisions here, but I don't want to say that it will work after all I am not a television engineer, why don't you google t.vs in Egypt and see if they sell that particular model?
Televisions are not expensive here so maybe buying one is your best bet.
Good luck with your move

It isn't really difficult to move here Micki sometimes I think we make life more difficult than it need be, as a foreigner officials will tend to fall over backwards to help you.

Thanks Chris, I think I'm fretting un-necessarily. Also feel quite low as my husband is there and I am stuck here trying to get answers to all my questions. I have just found out from the school that my daughter was going to enrol in that we have to have residency permits, so guess I will spend most of tomorrow hanging on for the egyptian colsulate?? No matter what I seem to google I get useless responses. Deep joy.

Hi Micki we are moving to Hurghada at the end of the month, we've just bought a 32" Sony Bravia in Hurghada and the price was on par with England

[micki moo]

Thanks for that, will sell my one here and buy there. thats seems to be what I will do with quite a bit of stuff, people seem to say don't bother with electricals so will take that one board

How much was your TV and where did you buy it from ??
Was is the best connection for expats in Egypt ? Is there Freeview (I guess no) - normal TV aerial TV or Satellite?
What is the best solution to getting Uk TV programs ??

[speedwing]

The TV cost £380.00 from the electrical shop near Metro. If you want English soaps then you can sign up for Showtime, the soaps are about 4-5 days behind here
