Now I know it's not everyones 'cup of tea' and i've read many posts and threads from campers whose toes curl up at the very mention of a tv when camping, however;
having recently changed from caravan to canvas and having used my sons flat screen tv/freeview/dvd to good effect while touring I thought it won't do us any harm if we take it away for longer trips.
I've got one of those telescopic type aerials that fastens to an A frame on a caravan, which worked really well.
Obviously tents don't have A frames, so I was wondering what those among you who do take a tv when camping use for an aerial/booster?
Many thanks Mike
ps PPLLEEAASSE don't use this post as a means of slating me for enjoying a little home luxury when away - I have served my country you know!!
We use Maplins one for all very compact and pretty good - obviously it depends on the sites signal but generally we get at least the basic channels on freeview - occasionally we've managed to get Cbeebies for the kids.

I would take the one you used on the van, you can buy a pole that screws into the ground which you fit your mast into. heres one
Hi, like the look of that.
Just wondering though, obviously it would be 'top' heavy - is there another way of securing it or does that system suffice?
I have bought one of the Lidl's portable satellite systems that can be set up in the box. It takes a bit of practice to set up, but once you've mastered it works far better and is more reliable than Freeview with far more channels - even the all the local BBC/ITV channels so if you wish you can keep up with your local news whilst away (sad I know!)
The last offer at Lidl's for these was only £29.99 - excellent value!
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
