 Have found on ebay a seller who sells individual clips :

Hi Scuba,

Just bought the clips. I might as well get them whilst he has got them. For that price anyway.

I had a look at the satellite idea but thought I might as well go for the aerial idea first as i've already got the freeview box. I'll post again when I've got the set-up sorted.

Thanks again,

Tony.

Hi Scuba,

Managed to put up the new aerial this weekend. It's the Image 530/18. Those fencing clips are brilliant. It would have to be some wind to bring the pole down with them in place.

Getting a good picture and even Ulster's channel 4. More suitable than S4C for us. Also receiving RTE1 &2. But not able to capture pictures from Freeview. Silly really because the guy in the adjacent van has the exact same aerial as ours, pole height etc. He reckons he is getting the Freeview pictures but no ITV. We'll just have to be grateful for what we are getting.

Cheers,

Tony.

Do you suffer from an OCD. Obsessive Caravan Disorder.

Have a look at this link of freeview transmitter map of uk and click on transmitters for North Wales, I see a couple for up that way. You can see coverage map of area and read comments.

BEING WELSH AND LIVING IN LLANBERIS RIGHT AT THE FOOT OF SNOWDON, I CAN TELL YOU UNLESS YOU CAN SEE THE MAST AT PENMON, WHICH BASICALLY IS IN ANGLESEY, YOU CAN FORGET IT, WE SHOULD BE ONE OF THE FIRST TO GET THE SWITCHOVER IF YOU BELIEVE WHAT THEY SAY, HOPE IT DOESNT SPOIL YOURE TIME IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD.

It couldn't spoil it in a million years. What a beautiful part of the country to live in. We feel so lucky to have found a season pitch in your neck of the woods. Particularly like that friendly pub in Nan Peris; the Vynal Arms.

About the poor signal: They will have to do something for the folk who live in your part of the world as not everybody will be able to afford satellite tv. I'm beginning to think this is something else that government haven't thought through properly.

Well do they ever think anything through properly?

Hi Scuba,

OK, some of the channels are coming from Ireland, North and South but we are receiving C5 plus ITV BBC Wales and BBC2. As long as we have something. I might buy another aerial like you have or I might try putting up an extension to the pole.

Thanks for the URL.

Tony.
