    How much cheaper are they over there?

    Is it worth the effort, when Amazon will deliver one to your door?

    Cheap enough at that price about £30 here .
    But duty and VAT to be considered and if it does not work you return it to the USA .

    Will work fine as long as long as your TV has USB socket to power it as it will come with a US mains plug.

    Plug it into a phone charger, the EEC/EU have their faults but not on universal chargers unless you want to charge une pomme.

    Its not cheaper over there just a risk of being accepted on warranty.
