Has any one got any suggestions for an Aeriel for my van that would pick up digital TV, as at the moment the Aeriel I have is useless unless you are camping next to the transmitter.

Never felt the urge to watch teevee when away mesen Mark
However, R0bs just got a camping twatalite set up. I think Maplins do em for around £7o

hairy holes here ^^^^^^^

We have a TV/DVD set-up, mostly for Grand Prix and those wet days when the girls can't play out but also for in a late evening when it's gone dark and we can sit under the awning and all watch a dvd.

We have a cheapo 'dead fish' aerial ... i.e. it's modelled to look like a Tom & Jerry fish skellington ... that works in 99% of places.

Sorry, just made me laugh

Thanks guys for the suggestions , so it's a toss up between "a dead fish" and a "Twatalight dish"...o boy all this technical jargon is scrambling my brain.

I've just bought one of the Maplin's Outdoor Digital Hairyholes @ £19.99 (see Matt's link) but I havn't had time to test it yet. Only delivered yesterday & it was persisting down.

mine has brackets fixed to the van then some clamps that can be taken off with the pole and the ariel on top.its worked everytime so far,you just look to see where everyone else is pointing theirs and it picks up the channels

this one


ive seen a few vans with these too

The one shown in the pic is the best I have ever tried and available from any camper/caravan accessory shop. I got one in the garage doing naff all as I have 'twatellite' (so I can watch football 'twattelites' like the Arsenal).

Would you be up for selling your aerial if you're not using it ??? I certainly would be interested .Mark.

Had it lying about just in case the sky box packed up. You do realise Mark that as soon as I flog this to you I am giving the kiss of death to my SkyBox...........how soon do you want it and meanwhile I will check P&P!
