TV reception in the bush

Carl, I have one of those hatches. It's completely water, dust, insect proof.

Crikey, Ours lets in midgies at night when we have the internal kitchen lights on. They come in through the small air holes that are all around the edge.

I should say they used to but do not anymore. Makes me woder if ours could have been fitted better. Thanks for that. Carl

Hi Graham,

I was interested in your response, and I was hoping you may be able to clarify a couple of things for me as I'm a complete novice about satellite stuff.

We'll be doing a "lap of Oz" starting in June/July this year and currently just have a standard TV in the van. We're looking at getting Satellite and heard that you can get a "box" which will allow you to record programs which was appealing. My guess is that's what you're referring to as a Strong box. Can you please explain what you mean by you "have a card that gets anything anywhere"?

We still haven't bought our Satellite system and heard from someone that "Storm" is good, but haven't been able to find anything about it.

We're also not ensure the benefits of having a tripod for the dish vs a pole somehow attached to the A frame vs resting it on the ground.

Given the caravan and camping show starts this week we thought we may purchase if the price was right but always looking for advice/guidance from this forum.

Thanks, Linda.

Perhaps you should MM me to get the full story. Or look in my profile for my Email address.
