I was about to ask the same question as we are due to pick up our new Avante next week. most of the sites we use have cable TV points from the bollard where the EHU connects, but I forgot to ask if there is a connection point for these on the exterior of the caravan?

Just hope i dont have to run the co-ax cable through the window on a brand new caravan until i can have an external point installed.

Our Affinity came with an external sat connection in the battery locker. It works fine!

Read on another forum that you need to use the Avtex TV as this acts as an amplifier
So thats maybe why Elddis provide one with a new van
Seems that some are finding them working ok

Well I actually rang my dealers today to finalise the pick up details and enquire about the best way to have a external co-ax cable point fitted for when we are on sites with notoriously poor reception like some we regularly visit around Snowdonia. These sites provide a cable TV point via the EHU bollard. With that sorted, the conversation turned to that of the reports i had heard regarding the poor reception found when using the Avtex ariel. According to my dealer, this ariel works by utilizing the whole of the caravan roof as an ariel, and are very good, and anyone whos getting regular poor reception should maybe have their instilation checked out incase there is a fault somewhere in the wiring.

Just 7 days to go now before we pick our new van up, I just hope its as good as it says it is on the tin lol!
