hi everybody
is there anyone out there who's tried those portable satellite tripods and do they work/
i was talking to a fellow caravanner and he used a sky dish + box and it worked fine when he's tuned it in.
i've been reading about those free to air satellite channels. (60cm dish) . do these work?
cheers

Hi corni
I've been using sky on a tripod for over 3 years & never had any problems just remember to peg it down as it will fall over in the slightest breeze, cheapest place i've found recently is ALDI for a tripod

we have took our sky box with us for 4 years the box from home purchased a dish and used a old speaker stand you can get cheap speaker stands from e bay, maplins, etc - the box from home will have all the channels you are paying for a dish sky type and the lnb can be got for£ 25 .
satelite for caravans is a good site with links and all the tips ypu need

Following a tip on here, I bought a rotary clothes drier from Argos, removed the line and turned it upside down - perfect!

I saw a guy in France a few weeks ago with a novel idea, he had a length of metal pipe and a large plastic parasol base. The parasol base was filled with water and the dish clamped to the pole and the stuck in the base. Looked very cheap but effective.------------- XVI yes?
