What's the best way to go about watching tv in a tent? I was thinking of buying a portable or lcd tv and using an internal aerial but will that only work for analogue and be redundant when the switch over happens or is an indoor aerial good enough to pick up freeview?
We have tried the built in aerial approach and to be honest found it a waste of time, you have to be in a good area to get even a poor signal.
So will be trading up to a flatscreen (nice one in Asda for £80 though not freeview) and buying a fold flat external aerial which will mount on the poles of my tent extension nicely, dont watch it that often but it keeps the kids occupied at those inevitable down times.
I suppose if you got a freeview one it would work Ok with an external aerial if the signal was strong enough.
Try Maplins they do LCD tv's with built in digital decoder etc and then buy a decent aerial. If you look on their website the sell customer retunrs at very good prices x
we just go through a second hand sagem 240v/12 set top box.
as said above though a decent aerial is needed and like home some places will never get a decent digital signal just as theres holes in mobile phone reception.
dont waste your money on anysized 1080p HD tellies with freeveiw installed freeveiw isnt HD so another bit of kit will be needed to get HD on your telly
we have a flat screen digital tv with an amplifier ariel. cant always get all channels. depends on reception in area. and always have it low volume, unless its raining.
