hi friends

Next weekend we are heading to the north west of Scotland near Lochinver for our summer hols. Went last summer and had the great weather. May not be so good this time so i am considering buying a Sky zone 2 dish or similiar (for the kids sakes of course) and taking our sky box with us.

My question is which satellite dish do i need? Will a zone 2 dish suffice up north. If so, what other equipment do i need?

 Any advice greatfully received

Thanks for the reply Bob

when you say the smaller dish, do you mean the 40cm one in the Maplins package?

Hi

Forget a satellite finder. Buy a cheap compass.

Point the dish due East and turn very slowly towards South. Works every time for me and you don't need to keep switching off and disconnecting.

As Oxter pointed out http://www.satelliteforcaravans.co.uk/ is good for info!

Caravanning is what you make it. Dont ever let anyone tell you that you have to go back to a field with just a tap and read books.
