unfortunately,
on some markets they are gone.
"Smart" TVs have squeezed them out.
If you manage to have access to AliExpress, you can have it shipped.
When that is not an option, a big computer screen and a tv card.
Aliexprees is great for low buget electronics,
but I'm skeptical about anything larger.
Plus with EU's hike on tarifs and delivery services quality it's like playing worst type of gambling.
A TV card(and PC obviously) with screen could be for me,
but there is no way my parents would agree to such setup.
Amazon ships the exact same fare of electronics. If it serves of any consolation...
If you have a laptop, there are small USB tv tunners available. If not, a smarphone can access a good deal of content. And depending on what country you are, you might have access to your national channels (open signal ones) over the net.
For the rest: Aaaaarrrr, me ladies! May the Great Flying Spaghetti Monster fill our sails and set our course for rich waters!
