We have the "aerial on a pole" as the van aeriel is one of the useless ones!   However it is hit and miss in some areas which doesnt bother me at all, just as happy with a good book, but drives OH into a lather!  I think satellite might be the way to go, we've never really looked into it as we dont have sky at home (cable instead).

We treated ourselves to a small flatscreen tv for the van earlier this year, I have to say I think we had  better reception with our pole and old portable we used to take. Progress eh.

Hi, we were having the same problem especially in wales, till a friend said get a signal booster from wilkos jobs done signal great.

We have a signal booster in the caravan - it came with it and we rarely have any difficulty getting a good picture be it analogue or digital. I'm convinced that a lot of problems with the aerials are incorrect positioning and tuning. Once you have found out where the stongest signal is coming from and pointed your aerial in that direction (using the aforementioned web site and a compass ), then the TV input must be selected as either Digital or Analogue and then Auto Tune must be selected - every time !!!!!

i use a book  - it's quieter and less mind numbing

a friend gave me his old tv and said i should try it     oops it went in the bin

apparently there is a state of the art status aeriel in van
