Anyone else done this?
If so, what type of connection did the TV have? I know sometimes in hotels etc that the TVs dont have a SCART connection and its something different and I dont want to take 10 million leads. LOL.

Good point. Sometimes the TVs in hotels and the like dont have SCART connections either.0 -
It might be worth checking to see if they have a tv/dvd combi before you go?
Depending on what type of accommodation you have booked, you may get a dvd in your room anyway.0 -

When we go we take a set top box use the scart leads without any problem. Don't forget to take an extension block as we only had 1 plug for the tv and had to nip out to Tesco for an extension.
Have a geat time, my little boy loves Butlins.0 -
Don't forget your duffer. We used to take a small digibox and dvd player but since regions are now virtually switched over we usually take a universal programmable remote and dvd player. That means we can program the tv to change stations, sometimes they don't give you a remote in the room.0

We were in silver accomodation at Skegness and we had a very basic portable tv in our accomodation and we couldn't connect the kids dvd players because there was no scart connection, so I guess it's down to luck what tv you get.
