I have a larger flat screen TV my team uses for picking up TSL timing on the pit wall,but we are looking to go down the more modern tablet sized mini TV's that we have seen been used. They also seam easier to get locked into TSL timing as it is very hit and miss with our present one. Can you post a link/info to the unit you use and any good or bad comments please.

I have one of these : http://www.amazon.co.uk/August-DTV905-Portable-Tel...

and it works very well. I think mine is the 7" version which is also on Amazon and cheaper at £45.

looks like a good idea - what cable/connectors do you need ?

Perry - I used one of those for years and they are no easier or more difficult to tune in to the timing feed than a regular TV. The only advantage is size. Which can also be a disadvantage!

Also beware - at the Silverstone Wing the TV signal for the timing screen is digital not analogue.

Woof - those little screens have a regular TV aerial socket.
