It looks like I'm finally emigrating from Edinburgh Scotland to Adelaide Australia in January, and I have some questions about what B&O stuff to take with me.
I'm particularly interested in my TV's: I have a BV7-40 MKI and a BV7-32 MKIII, and a BV6-23 - all in great condition and working really well, although currently in storage. I have Humax Fox T2 boxes to feed these, but I suspect the TVs and boxes may be unusable in Australia? None of them are intended to be used as 'main' TVs but just for guest bedrooms and to match with my retro B&O stuff too - plus they do look great, and I have enough BL6000/8000s to run both BV 7's as 5.1 setups. So, is there a way to use these Down Under - or should I ditch them before I go?
Also. I wondered if the radios on e.g. my BS 9000, Beocentre 9500, or Beosystem 5500 will be able to tune to Australian stations? If they don't it's not a huge issue, but I'd be interested to know.
I expect that my Moment, Essence and two Playmakers will work on the wifi networks there, but I could do with some reassurance that they will! I have a couple of Apple TV's, and I suppose it will be the same for them?
Finally, is there anything particularly difficult or expensive to obtain in Australia that I should pick up here? Any general comments would help here, but I'm thinking cables, brackets etc.
If anyone has made the same move and can offer advice, or if any Australian members have a particular viewpoint, then I'd be very grateful to hear them.
Thanks In Advance,
J

Thank you elephant - I'll be sure to bring power strips and I'll pick up adaptors too...
I meant to say that I did see the thread from Beolion in 2014, who's stuff was Danish I believe - very helpful, but I was hoping to find out about any particular B&O issues from a UK perspective.
