Hi!

This weekend we're at the Cirencester Park CC site. Apparently TV reception there is poor, and there are TV sockets on the hook up bollards. What wire do I need for this? I've bought a normal male to male TV extension lead. Is that sufficient? I don't want to open the packaging to find that it isn't as I won't then be able to return it!

Thanks for your help again.

You could phone or email them and ask exactly what you need. If you do, don't forget to find out how far the point is from your pitch and add a bit extra on for good measure!

You will need a coax to coax lead with the same connections as would fit into the back of the TV so I presume that is considered a male plug end. Most Caravan Club sites with TV hook ups sell the leads at reception, usually about £12/15 and25 mts long to cover all eventualities. Unless it has changed recently not all sites with TV hook ups have a digital connection so you may have to put up with analogue signals.

Just been to CC Centenary site in the New Forest where reception is claimed to be 'not good' , bloke next door bought a lead, I just used the Status aerial on the van and got perfect reception on digital.  Maybe you won't need one!!

£15 for a couple of quids worth of co-ax cable and a pair of easy-fit plugs? They're 'avin a laugh - nice little earner for the wardens though.

Have a look in B&Q, they certainly sell those sort of components - others like Wilko probably do as well.

And get a little female-female coax cable connector at the same time. That way, whatever the output/input sockets, you're covered.

I did ask my OH to make a lead up, but apparently he's too busy. I'll take my 15m cable in it's wrapping just in case. If the aerial on the roof works, great, if not at least I have an option and I can examine the post to see what is there!
