Your "Jenson" is a cheap garbage TV brand, as such if you think it is good quality you are sadly mistaken.. It is the typical junk that everyone who owns a RV whines about poor quality. And, when your Jenson dies, you will have to search hi and low online and pay a premium price for another same junker as absolutely no retail store carries them.
I am guessing you were fine with the quality of "VHS"? I wasn't, preferred the pix quality of Beta tapes and jumped on Hi8 units when Sony came out with Prosumer units with tuners (yeah I was spoiled by working in an industrial video setting as my first job which included broadcast 1" Sony video recorders with TBC, Grass Valley editing equipment and broadcast quality cameras, so I know the difference in video quality).
I will gladly use a few watts more of energy to trade for a TV which has better tuner, better picture and better life and when mine dies is very easy to locate a low cost replacement at any retailer..
One or two Ahrs of battery per day is not going to make you run a gen longer or spoil your non gen long weekend.
The obsession of how some folks pick their energy battles makes me chuckle.. Personally if battery consumption is such a problem, then rethink the TV thing as it is a waste of energy with the lame programs foisted on us now days..
You're obviously very, very unhappy that we're happy with our 12v Jensen TV. Duly noted :)
