If you have an Aldi near you pop in to see if they have any left They are not on special at the moment but Aldi just put everything electronic that doesn`t sell in a cabinet.Worthwhile looking.Cheers.Alex

For tenting purposes we just take the radio for the news and the days events and a laptop loaded with downloaded TV shows and films for the evening. When we use statics We always take a tiny media player that we bought off amazon for £17.00. That just plugs into the TV and again plays anything we have pre-recorded onto a flash drive. I can't be doing with aerials they never seem to work when you need them to.

Sorry to ressurect an old thread, but I am a major numpty when it comes to all things technical - if I buy a freeview dongle, do I also need to have internet access? I don't understand how these things work, but if a freeview dongle works without internet access, I would be very happy:)

we bought one from Aldi last year for about £18.Its got a small dongle that the small supplied ariel plugs into.We have  managed to watch most freeview channels and radio everytime its been used when weve been camping.You do have to retune when you relocate but it only takes a few mins.Im sure you got a disk to programme it in which must have been easy if I done it!!! Works a traet for the money.
