I've never understood the serious requirement to watch telly abroad. (although we have one in.) If the weather is good - and usually it is, we are sat out. If push really does come to shove, and we are 'confined' with a monsoon or similar, we will watch a DVD.
I watched a very large German motorhome pitch up once, and the very first thing they did, was fire up the dish on the roof. Ten minutes later, he moved pitch over the way from us, obviously no signal. Tried the dish again....no good, so he was off. Or so i thought, On exiting the site later, i found him near the gate on a more open pitch. All set up...watching Coronation-strasse, despite the lovely day outside his hermetically sealed monster truck.
