Digitech Tv <span class="highlight">Antenna</span>

Just that little bit harder to run them off 12v out there though. You can get a modified 12v one from Satplus I think but they are not cheap. Bob

Not from Satplus but Vansat.
In any event you can do it a lot cheaper,as many have done, with a small ciggy plug inverter.

I agree about the directional antenna and with most of the country now digital a good antenna is a necessity.

I don't agree about the sat TV comment though. Now days I find that in remoter areas setting up a terrestrialantenna is more fiddly than the sat TV. As for local news, there are dedicated channels for these if you must have them. Also there is really no local programming, unless you mean local adverts and who really wants to watch ads.

Not everybody that has a caravan or motor home wants to travel to remote areas.

Most of the major reigonal centres have their own TV transmitters, local news and even the adds can be of interest and benifit to travelers.

BTW a good antenna was always a necessity...and in truth there is no such thing as a "digital" antenna, just like there was no such thing as a colour antenna.

Its just that an inadequate antenna will just look worse on a better techloogy....

when we made the shift to colour the signal flaws became more obvious in colour and where as with analogue, a piss poor antenna would give a piss poor picture...at least it was a picture...with digital you either have a good picture or one that wont lock and a blue screen that comes and goes.

A simple good quality antenna set up should cost arround $200 all said and done...and it will work anywhere there is terestrial transmission available.

cheers

Satellite TV will get your local chanells and news.
