Radiola TVs 2026: small 12 V TVs for motorhomes and kitchens

Radiola, a French brand over a century old

Radiola was born in 1922 : it was the name of the first private French radio station. The brand belonged to La Radiotechnique, then to Philips from 1990 to 2002, which long gave it an image of ‘entry-level Philips'. Taken over in 2016 by Schneider Consumer Group, it joined the group Established (owner of Thomson, RCA and Blaupunkt) on 15 October 2024.

Good news for customers: Radiola is not affected by the bankruptcy of StreamView, which only made Thomson TVs. According to their product sheets, our Radiola TVs are assembled in Romania; the exact manufacturer is not published.

The big advantage: 12 V

Most TVs run only on mains power (230 V). The 24-inch Radiola TVs we sell also accept a 12 V power supply, with a cigarette lighter adapter supplied according to the product sheet. You plug them directly into the service battery of a camper van, caravan, boat or cabin fitted with solar panels, without an inverter.

• Power consumption : around 17 W according to the energy label (17 kWh per 1,000 hours), to be checked on the sheet for the chosen model. That is low, but on a battery, every hour counts.
• Voltage : 12 V. A lorry or a 24 V boat requires a voltage step-down converter.
• Size : 24 inches (about 61 cm diagonal), ideal for watching from 1 to 1.5 metres away.

Watching TV in Belgium with a Radiola

Over the air (TNT)

In Wallonia and Brussels, RTBF still broadcasts La Une, Tipik and La Trois for free over the air, in HD and in DVB-T2 HEVC. The RA24A3VG sheet explicitly mentions HEVC; for the other models, ask us to check. With a small aerial, you can therefore receive these channels while camping, at the cabin or in the kitchen, with no subscription. In Flanders, VRT switched off its free terrestrial TV in 2018: you need to go via satellite, a set-top box or an app.

Via satellite

Only the RA24A2TV has a satellite tuner (DVB-S2). With a dish, you can receive the free-to-air channels, and the Belgian packages TéléSAT or TV Vlaanderen with the operator's card and module or set-top box. Ask us to check compatibility with your subscription before you leave.

Over the internet

On the RA24A2TV, the apps available depend on the version of Tizen installed by Radiola: check for RTBF Auvio, VRT MAX or Play on the model on display. Pickx doesn't exist on any TV, whatever the brand. On non-connected models, a streaming stick plugged into HDMI does the job.

The limitations, in all honesty

• HD only on all four models: very good at 1 or 2 metres, less sharp from far away.
• No HDMI 2.1, no 120 Hz, no Dolby Vision : these are not TVs for the PS5 or demanding cinema.
• Its modest (6 to 16 W): enough for a small room, just about adequate for a large living room.
• Non-smart models have no apps : think about this before buying.

Installing a TV in a camper van: our tips

• Mounting : on the road, a TV standing on its feet will move. Use a bracket suited to the vehicle, compatible with the TV's VESA standard, and remove or lock the screen during journeys.
• Power connection : connect the TV to the leisure battery circuit, not the engine battery, so you don't risk a fault when starting the engine.
• Aerial : an omnidirectional roof aerial for terrestrial TV (TNT) is often enough in Wallonia. Rescan for channels at each new place you stay.
• Satellite : with an automatic satellite dish, the RA24A2TV receives the satellite signal directly, with no extra receiver needed for free-to-air channels.
• Internet : over campsite Wi-Fi or via smartphone tethering, the RA24A2TV accesses its apps. Mind your data use on 4G or 5G.

Other Radiola models you may come across

Elsewhere, you'll find other Radiola references released around February and March 2026: the RA24A2 (24-inch 12 V under VIDAA), the RA32A2, and larger 4K HDR10 models such as the RA43A2 (VIDAA) or the RA43A2T and RA55A2T (Tizen). They are not in our range.

Decoding a Radiola reference

• RA : Radiola.
• 24 : the screen size in inches.
• A2 / A3 : the family (A2 = smart, A3 = non-smart).
• T or TV : Tizen version; V appears to indicate the VGA input. This decoding is inferred from the references; Radiola has not published it.

Radiola versus other small TVs

The LG offers a larger, slimmer screen and the webOS system, which is very complete for Belgian apps. The Radiola keeps the advantage of 12 V and satellite. To compare all the small sizes, read our guide TVs from 24 to 43 inches or return to the other brands section.
