As we are about to buy a new TV for the RV any help on the best purchase. TV with freeview and an ariel or TV and satalite dish. we don't know much about either.

Maureen

We've go t no experience of satelite TV, either at home or in the MH, but freeview works well for us.  We have a TV with freeview in it, although did have a spearate TV and freeview before this one.  The Status ariel came fitted when we bought the MH.

Personally i think its a lot easier to have Freeview. No dish to worry about setting up, or to have fixed to your van with holes drilled.

But the problem you can get with Freeview is with a Omnidirectional Status Ariel, they only really work in high signal strength areas. You are better off getting a slot together aluminium pole and fix a normal household domestic ariel to it, and feed the coaxil through the back door or a window.

I do this and get a perfect signal with all of the digi channels wherever i camp.

Do you use the sky tv on 240  or 12volt. as we are looking for 12volt

Maureen

We have Status Omnidirectional ariel and freeview and never have a problem with reception.  No setting up of poles or dish.

Jean

laptop at £200 with a WinTv (available at argos for £35) plug in the usb port, this converts your laptop to a tv with analogue and digital freeview reception, via your staus ariel.
