Happy new year to you all

Ive taken my folding satellite dish off my motorhome and I am thinking of putting it on my new motorhome. I have got a 12 volt sky box  and with out the veiwing card theres not many channels to choose from, so heres my questions.

1. Is it worth putting back on as I have freeview?

2. Do I putt it on and change the receiver box?

3. What do you use?

Cheers Paul

We use a non-sky receiver box which gives us a huge choice of satellites and channels. After the novelty had worn off, we have stopped "searching" the channels on offer from each satellite and just use Astra 2 for the usual "Freesat" and common UK available choice. A previously owned, top of the range reciever box (foolishly sold with our last motorhome.......) had something like 2,800 plus  channels to choose from ! Too much choice? We actually find Freesat choice is plenty but then we do not have Sky or similar at home. We also  watch loads more DVD's in the caravan than we do at home.

Thanks for the replies

I cant get all the sky channels as I leave the sky card at home with my Daughter.

Cheers Paul

paul - have you tried sky go? though i undersatnd its only available in the uk, but if she has sky access via pc or similar, you could take your card

LEAVING YOUR CARD WITH THE YOUR DAUGHTER, NEVER !!!! (in case mine is reading this LOL)

You may need a software update , I had mine done last year then it worked ok.

Cheers Paul
