Recently purchased a 2012 T@b, so we have lots of questions. Is the 12 v battery able to power the television system for minimal use?

    Not a regular TV. There are 12V TVs that use power, but they can be power hogs. It also depends on how frugal you are with lights and how long you want to watch TV on battery power and how big your battery is.

    The TVs in the T@B are 12 volt.

    Yes, the Jensen systems are all 12V and will run on battery.

    My T@B did not come with a real television (it had a 6" screen over the sink which I quickly discarded). I bought a 12v  19" Jensen along with a matching Jensen receiver/dvd/cd player. The unit runs for a hours and hours on battery power. Watching movies is easy. The only missing part of my system is a tv antenna. The one that came with my T@B only works for the radio.

    Estancio, There should be another outlet right by where you radio antenna is on the outside of the T@B. It has a cover on it that flips open, and has a cable connector on the inside. I took a coax connector, and a set of old rabbit ear antennae, hooked 'em up, and 28 tv stations without cable! See if there is one on your T@B as I don't know which model you have, or if it even came with it. Probably something you could order from Elsie at Pleasant Valley though.
