£49 9" Portable DVD Player

Former_MSE_Andrea

What's the deal?

Tesco is selling the Technika 9" portable DVD player for £49, half Tesco's usual price in store. It's region 2 compatible meaning there's no need to hack it to view disks in the UK. It's currently sold out at Tesco Direct but if you want to see what it looks like you can see it on the Tesco Direct website.

So you don't have a wasted journey if you're quite far from your nearest Tesco it may be worth giving it a ring first to check it has it in stock. To find the number of your nearest store use Tesco's store locator.

Spotted it cheaper elsewhere?

It sometimes happens that eagle-eyed MoneySavers spot an even better deal. If you've found the same or better spec portable DVD player for less then click reply to let other MoneySavers know.

This looks like it's already out of stock on the website; I have also tried both my nearest main stores and same situation I'm afraid

Does anyone know what the battery life is like and what type of batteries this uses?

I reckon that the fact that it is Region 2 only is a negative point on what is pretty good value player.

I can't tell the model number from the Tesco website but a hack is possibly listed here :

Just a note that all DVD players being sold in the UK by mainstream outlets will be region 2 compatible - this is not a feature.

Blinko,

Now that you have one, could you tell us what model number it is so that we could look it up. Also, could you please list any of the accessories that did/didn't come with it. Many thanks.

Any chances this also plays DivX files?

I've managed to pick one up at Tesco Sandhurst. There are no accessories other than Mains Adaptor. So there's no in car charger or earphones. Not sure what else would be expected anyway.

The model No is PDVD908 and there are a couple on ebay. On one of them you need to search description as the model number is not in the item title.

Hope you can find one. There is no mention that it plays DivX files, but then I don't know what they are.

Even if it doesn't come with one, does anyone know if it's possible to buy a generic adaptor that will run this from a 12V cig socket in a car?
