Hi, when visiting Rowntree in the past I have always used an external tv aerial on a long mast, due to poor reception. I believe tv hook up has now been installed. Has this improved reception or will I still have to use my aerial on on long mast? Regards Tony

Last time we were there we used our satellite dish but even then had a few problems with trees being in the way. I suspect if the Club have gone to the trouble of installing a TV signal boosting system then it should work perfectly well otherwise there would be no point. The only problem I have experienced with CC TV hook-ups is that the connectors are often not very robust and can get broken but hopefully that won't be the case on a new install.

The app on my smartphone says for best reception point your ariel to 353 deg on a horizontal setting.

That's between nnw and n.

On the internet you can be anything you want. It`s strange so many people choose to be rude and stupid.

Yes would be interested in the app too. Never had any problems with reception at Rowntree Park with our Status arial.

Sometimes a little rain must fall before you reach a rainbow.

The work will wait while you show the child the rainbow, but the rainbow won't wait while you finish the work.
