    Caravan satellite TV. Decided to join the 21st Century.

    They call them semi pro for selling purposes I think. They are good because they have several European satellites listed and loaded in case you want astra 19 in Europe when you can't get astra28. Also when you have selected the satellite you want they only look for that satellite so you should...

    Caravan satellite TV. Decided to join the 21st Century.

    I think it is very basic compared with some of the semi pro ones.

    Caravan satellite TV. Decided to join the 21st Century.

    Hi. Can I quiz you on the Primesat. I currently have a SF500 which I have had for years and it is just starting to play up. The Primesat is one option as a replacement. Can you tell me how it powers up? Does it clearly show signal strength and quality on the screen and any other useful bits of...

    No more difficult than previously. It is still a digital signal as before.

    The two cables from the correct LNB go into the Q box and will set you up in one location in your van. My LNB has two connections for Q and four standard ones and I use one of the standard ones to run a cable to the second location and use a standard Freesat box. I have not found a way of...

    Yes you can. I have done it. You do not need WiFi if you just want to watch TV and any recordings you have made. You obviously need the correct LNB for SkyQ but I repeat you do not need WiFi for normal use. We take our box from home every time we go away.

    Quiet at Longleat CAMC

    We were at a normally busy site until Tuesday. It was gradually emptying out. The wardens said it was normal as the retired caravans mostly disappear before the bulk of the schools break up and that this weekend it will be full.

    We have been using Satellite at home and in France and Switzerland for about 30 years now. Totally wired in for SkyQ and now have exactly the same package at home and abroad. Never yet failed to get signal although sometimes easier than others. No plans to change anything in the foreseeable future.

    Caravan Cello tv advice.

    I ordered a Cello tv through Amazon. The positive was the weight which was good. Negatives were the sound and picture quality. Returned it within a week. Personally I think there are much better TV's about for not a lot more money.

    Wilksworth Farm. Wimborne

    Yes it is on UK Campsite. It was not just the problems we experienced but the fact that you cannot ring the Shorefield Leisure H.O to try and sort it out. They will not talk about complaints, you have to put in writing and it takes 10 days to get a very poor response.

    Wilksworth Farm. Wimborne

    This site appears to be going downhill fast since being taken over by Shore field Leisure. Stayed a couple of weeks ago and no security as barrier broken. WiFi not working properly. Small swimming pool closed because of a fault. Had to get rubbish cleared from my pitch. Bins overflowing not...
