Do TVs brought across from SA work in Mauritius

Yes it will, just need to change the plug or buy an adapter plug

thanks so much.

I don’t know what TV system broadcast you have in SA but Mauritius broadcast MESECAM!! If your tv is multi standard then it will work.( please note that systems are PAL SECAM and NTSC - in Mauritius we use the Middle East SECAM as opposed to French SECAM)

The  broadcasting methods MESCAM PAL SECAM etc. have been used in the past when transmission was analogue. Nowadays the transmission in most countries including Mauritius should be a) digital terrestrial,  b) digital by satellite or  c) via internet. Therefore a TV from SA should work in Mauritius as well.

@Vedan even old CRT television sets from the 1970’s included a VHF/UHF tuner (those little wheels you had to turn by hand or with a screwdriver to set the preset channels). This was in the time before TV’s were able to Autoscan for available channels on the VHF and UHF frequencies.

these days,
Most TV’s will work (as long as they have HDMI in):

the UHF/VHF Tuner section of any TV that you bring in is no longer going to be used as Mauritius was the first public television broadcaster in Africa to launch Digital Terrestrial Television (in 2005 already), so signal is no longer received via a UHF/VHF aerial on the roof, but a dish, and newer TV’s with a built-in DVB-T/MPEG2 tuner will be able to receive these channels (otherwise a DVB-T/MPEG2 set-top box can connect to the TV’s HDMI port).

BUT (even though it has not even launched in South Africa and is already 16 years old in Mauritius) DVB-T Digital Terrestrial TV technology is getting long in the tooth and has largely been superseded by MBC Sat / CanalSat Afrique, Canal Plus, MyTv, Parabole Maurice, Free2view

Even these have now become superseded by internet based networks like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney Plus, AppleTV Plus and even Mauritius Broadcasting Corporation’s own app: MBC play

Here is a list of TV channels in Mauritius (some of which can be viewed on the MBC play app:

MBC (Mauritius Broadcasting Corporation) - the public broadcaster - (17 TV channels in Mauritius, 4 in Rodrigues, 2 in Agaléga, and 7 radio channels) - broadcasting in 12 languages (French, Creole, English, Hindi, Urdu, Bhojpuri, Tamil, Gujarati, Telugu, Marathi, Mandarin/Cantonese, and Hakka):
