Now I know it's not everyones 'cup of tea' and i've read many posts and threads from campers whose toes curl up at the very mention of a tv when camping, however;

having recently changed from caravan to canvas and having used my sons flat screen tv/freeview/dvd to good effect while touring I thought it won't do us any harm if we take it away for longer trips.

I've got one of those telescopic type aerials that fastens to an A frame on a caravan, which worked really well.

Obviously tents don't have A frames, so I was wondering what those among you who do take a tv when camping use for an aerial/booster?

Many thanks Mike    

ps PPLLEEAASSE don't use this post as a means of slating me for enjoying a little home luxury when away - I have served my country you know!! 

HEHE

Not just us after a long day on the beach or relaxing by the pool...evening entertainment after 11 tv horrors LOL.

never leave home without it.

soz mh here not sure about tent aerial.

We use Maplins one for all very compact and pretty good - obviously it depends on the sites signal but generally we get at least the basic channels on freeview - occasionally we've managed to get Cbeebies for the kids.

I would take the one you used on the van, you can buy a pole that screws into the ground which you fit your mast into. heres one

Hi, like the look of that.

Just wondering though, obviously it would be 'top' heavy - is there another way of securing it or does that system suffice?

Thanks, Mike
