billytheghillie Posted May 1, 2023 Report Share Posted May 1, 2023 I like to get away in my folding trailer tent in the summer, but SWMBO wants a T.V. for it. I have a small 22in tv and a old Humax Freesat box. Question is, do i just get a satellite dish with tripod stand and hook it up to this? Will that work? Dont want to spend a fortune, any help and pointers in the right direction will really help. P.S. any links to websites would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted May 1, 2023 Report Share Posted May 1, 2023 Use site WiFi and watch free sat or use phone as a HotSpot. I take my lap top and use that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mice! Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 See a lot on our site with dishes on their vans, but I'm connected to an aerial with free sat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
