I detest it (and Rugby). The picture is for illustration purposes only as that was when the TV was new and I was 'browsing' the freeview channels.............

Permanent fitting?? Interesting.

I fitted an aerial socket on the wall in the van and managed to hide the cable in the boxing with all the other cables (lighting etc). It comes out right at the back of the van by the rear hatch. Am using one of these to get outside to attach to the aerial cable
