As we look to expand our camping kit (knew the trailer was a bad idea ), we're looking at a TV for in our tent. Total amateur in this field... any advice on what we'd need would be appreciated

Cheers in advance

It really depends on what you want you have various options.

small flat screen with built in freeview and a decent aerial

Laptop with a TV usb dongle still need an aerial

portable satellite system which will allow you to get your sky programs if you take your sky box with you

when we had the tent we used the Laptop with a usb tv dongle it sufficed but was not ideal.

we currently have a 22" flat screen with built in freeview now we have a caravan but i'm looking into getting a satellite system.

I would love to get it for this holiday but doubt that will happen. Don't think wife would be overly happy me spending half the holiday watching the Lions tour

I'm sure others will be along with better ideas

cheers robert, thats useful.. sounds like a flatscreen tv with a decent aerial may suffice.. wasnt sure if satellite was better to get freeview channels, and if we then needed the box you see in the sets

To receive Sky or Freesat you need a satellite dish.

For Freeview, you need an aerial (long thing with stickyout bits).
