we take a 14 inch lcd which is now our "camping tv" (was my sons, but upgraded him to 20 inch lcd)......

We have a 15" lcd with built in dvd & freeview in the kids playroom & we use that as an occasional camping tv.  We took it at Easter when it got cold in the evenings & the site picked up Cbeebies which had the kids cock a hoop!  I also took it to the Plassey the other week as I was on my own midweek and I needed something to tempt them inside the tent at bedtime.  We don't really bother with it ourselves unless we have to be inside the tent because of the weather when we might watch a film.  We find tv signal varies greatly from site to site - our one for all aerial will generally pick up all terrestrial & itv2 etc but the signal has to be really good for it to get the full freeview selection.

Welcome back John Preece - several search parties were sent out to Cornwall looking for you!!!

Or - plug in a USB TV tuner

My brother has a dongle for his main PC at home, he had some trouble getting it to work and get a decent signal. Another option is Sky player online, you can only install it on one pc though, and I should imagine you need a really good wi fi signal too. Link > HERE < if your interested. You would only need your laptop to go online, play games AND watch tv  

Im saying nuffin as im now parked in what looks like a very busy show.

has the beach front been finished yet? watch out for the golf balls when you go!!

Due to go camping end of August for the first time and we're taking the laptop as a dvd player. If the phone signal is good enough use it my Wi-Fi connection.

X fingers even if it doesn't we can still watch films

But only if boredom strikes we really want to unplug for a week.

Any comments ?????????????????
