FIELD OF INVENTION The present invention relates to television stands and mountings. The present invention has particular but not exclusive application for televisions but may also be used to support computer monitors, screens and similar items. Reference to television in the specification is by way of example only and the present invention can be used to support other similar items.

BACKGROUND QF THE INVENTION Televisions are currently wall or ceiling mounted or positioned on dedicated stands. With wall or ceiling mounts, the television is supported by a bracket usually in a position near or adjacent the ceiling. Wall and ceiling mounts are useful where there is a small living space and there is a need to make the immediate living area less cluttered. While the wall and ceiling mounted television brackets provide a space saving, the television is usually inconveniently positioned and the bracket provides little adjustability for the viewer. As a consequence the viewing experience is less than satisfactory. Dedicated television stands are generally designed as items of furniture to complement the decor of the living area. Most dedicated stands have little adjustability limiting their application. Current television stands do not appear to provide satisfactory solution for the positioning of a television in situations other than in a living room. QBJECT QF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an alternative support frame for mounting a television which overcomes at least in part one or more of the abovementioned problems and disadvantages.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS With reference to Figures 1 to 4, there is shown a support frame 10 having stand 11 and mounting frame 12. The stand 11 has telescopically extendable feet 13 to provide a stable base for the mounting of a television. The feet 13 consist of a front foot support 14, a rear front support 15 and two parallel connecting rails 16. The front foot support 14 and rear foot support 15 are telescopically extendable. Both supports, 14 and 15, may have one or more wheels 19 attached so that the support frame 10 can be easily manoeuvred for the viewer's comfort. The wheels 19 can be lowered and locked into position so that the stand can be manoeuvred and raised (and in some embodiments locked) when the desired position has been located. The connecting rails 16 also have an attachable safety guard 17 locatable within sockets 18. The safety guard 17, when located within sockets 18, provides a means for preventing the support frame 10 from overbalancing and falling over. The located safety guard 17 may be placed beneath a bed or the like so that it can abut the underside of the bed, bed head or bedrails to prevent it from falling over. The stand 11 includes two upright members 20. Each upright member 20 in the preferred embodiment is telescopically extendable so that the television mounted on the support frame 10 may be at the desired height. Each upright member 20 extends substantially from the rear foot support 15 in a substantially vertical position. Each upright member 20 includes a shelf socket 21. A shelf 22 is locatable within the shelf sockets 21 and can be used to support a VCR, DVD player, computer game console or the like. Each upright member 20 has an attachment portion 23 which is at substantially right angles to the upright member 20. The attachment portion 23 extends towards the front foot support 14. Each attachment portion 23 has brackets 25, 26. A rear pipe 27 extends between the two brackets 25. The rear pipe 27 is inserted through the height adjustment member 30 so that the height adjustment member 30 is pivotal about the rear pipe 27. The mounting frame 12 is attachable to the height adjustment member 30 at one of several positions depending on the desired inclination of the mounting frame 12. The mounting frame 12 also has a fixed front pipe 31 on the underside of the mounting frame 12. The fixed front pipe 31 is engageable with bracket 26 to provide a pivotal attachment. The mounting frame 12 has two opposed rails 35, 36 which are telescopically extendable to accommodate televisions of various widths. The mounting frame 12 also has two platforms 37, 38 extending between the rails 35, 36. Each platform 37, 38 is fixed to the rails 35, 36 so that when the rails 35, 36 telescopically extend the platforms 37, 38 become spaced apart. In the preferred embodiment the platform 37 is fixed to the outer sleeves of rails 35, 36 while the platform 38 is fixed to the inner sleeves of rails 35, 36. The platforms 37, 38 also have laterally extending slots 39 within which a sliding clamp 40 is positioned. The sliding clamp 40 serves to clamp the television set to the platforms 37, 38. The mounting frame 12 also has upright brackets 41 , 42 substantially at opposed front ends. The upright brackets 41 , 42 also have tab 43 for checking the position of the television. With one preferred embodiment the stand is preferably 80cm wide enabling it to be easily positioned under a single, double or queen size bed. After placement the feet are telescopically extended and locked to provide stability. Where the stand 11 is positioned under a single bed that is against a wall, only the feet away from the wall need to be extended. When all the feet are extended and locked in position the base is preferably 1.5m wide increasing the stability of the stand. The safety guard 17 as shown in Fig. 1 can be removed is not required. The stand is preferably positioned adjacent to the foot of the bed. .With reference to Figures 5 to 8, there is shown a second preferred embodiment of the support frame 50 including a stand 51 and a mounting frame 52. The stand 51 has a foot portion 53 to provide counter balance to the support frame 50 when the television or the like is mounted. The foot portion 53 is adjustable by removing fasteners 54, extending upper foot portion 55 and repositioning fasteners 54. The stand 51 also includes two upright leg portions 56 extending from the foot portion 53 and two arm portions 57 extending laterally from the leg portions 56. The leg portions 56 also includes two shelf attachment sockets 60, 61 welded to the leg portions 56. Each leg portion 56 is formed by joining two sections by male - female connection with one portion fitting inside the other section at connection position 58. The connection of the two sections includes joining the two sections and respective attachment sockets 60, 61. Connection of the leg portion 56 by each section and respective attachment sockets 60, 61 stiffens the support frame 50 and reduces the risk of independent movement. In Figure 5 there is shown the placement of a shelf 63 in attachment sockets 60 while a support rod 65 spans attachment socket 61. Attachment socket 61 provides for the insertion of a second or accessory shelf on the support frame 50. In another embodiment the attachment sockets 60 have a support rod similar to support rod 65 instead of a shelf. In this embodiment there are no shelves. Figure 8 shows shelf 63 (or an accessory shelf) on which DVD players and VHS players can be located. The two arm portions 57 have two arm rails 65, 66 that extend between the two arm portions 57. The mounting frame 52 is mounted on the two arm rails 65, 66. The mounting frame 52 is pivotally mounted onto the outer arm rail 65 so that the mounting frame 52 can pivot about the longitudinal axis of the outer arm rail 65. The outer arm rail 65 is fixed in position to prevent the arm portions 57 from spreading apart by two bolts 67 passing through the arm portions 57 and the outer arm rail 65. The mounting frame 52 is mounted to the inner arm rail 66 by a height adjustment member 68 which tilts the mounting frame 52 to the desired position pivoting about the longitudinal axis of the outer arm rail 65. The height adjustment member 68 is pivotally mounted to the inner arm rail 66. The mounting frame 52 has two frame rails 70 spaced apart by a connecting rail 71. The height adjustment member 68 is slideably attached to the inner arm rail 66 so that when a desired position is reached the height fastener 72 fixes the height of the mounting frame 52. The mounting frame 52 has two holding members 73, 74. The first holding member 73 is adjacent the connecting rail 71. The first holding member 73 is preferably fixed adjacent the connecting rail 71. The second holding member 74 has two outer sleeves 76 slideably adjustable along the frame rails 70. The adjustability provides for accommodation of different size and shaped televisions. Each holding member 73, 74 has two upright arms 77 for holding or fixing to the television. The upright arms 77 in some embodiments are bolted through apertures 78 to the slots behind the LCD television. Alternatively, the rear upright arms 77 may be removed when mounting a television. In a further alternative the rear upright arms 77 may be repositioned so that they are lie substantially horizontal and substantially parallel with frame rails 70 to extend the base to accommodate larger televisions. ADVANTAGES The advantages of the preferred embodiment of the support frame include the providing of a stable stand on which a television can be mounted and tilted so that a person can comfortably view a television program. The preferred embodiment has a particular advantage for use with persons viewing from a bed. A further advantage of the preferred embodiment is that it can be reduced to a flat package for storage and transport purposes. The stand can be easily assembled on site. The stand has application in homes, in situations for the elderly and those with disabilities, in nursing homes and hospitals
