Practical Caravan TV is here!

[LizziePope]

We've mentioned this elsewhere on the forum, but as we are launching our new and rebranded TV series, a new thread is definitely in order!

And to find out more about our new series, get the low-down from our Group Editor by clicking here.

 

[Raywood]

Will have a look when it launches and good luck with the new shows.

Looking forward to seeing it. However, aside from weekly and a new name, it sounds very similar to the Caravan channel as was. Hoping to be proved wrong.

Hi everyone. A quick update: we've just been told that when Practical Caravan TV launches on 4 April, as well as being on Sky 212 it will be shown on Freeview 254. However, please be aware that you can only see Freeview 254 if your TV is connected to the internet.

Is there a Freesat channel, we don't have SKY or Freeview 254 in our region (West Cumbria) !

Good to see that Practical Caravan and Practical Motorhome now showing on the Sky EPG channel 212 Showcase for Monday's first episodes......'Record' set but can't set Series Link..Any idea why or whether this is something that can be remedied?

Thank you and looking forward to the new shows

 

[LizziePope]

Hi everyone – and I hope you're looking forward to the launch of Practical Caravan TV tonight at 8! To find out more about what we've got in store, please click here.

To answer a few other questions... We're not yet on Freesat, but we hope to be in the not too distant future. Until then, you can watch the shows live online, so at 8pm today, just click here to see the show being streamed. Regarding series linking, I'll ask, as I thought this had been sorted – watch this space.

We hope you enjoy the show!

We don't have Sky and although we have Freeview and i managed to find Channel 254 as it's not a smart tv, i couldn't watch it it's also gone from the Freesat line up as well but its available online at the viewing times ....
I need to catch the first bit again on Wednesday ...

These are the advertised times.
8pm on Mondays.
5pm on Wednesdays.
7pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

And, yes, as Sprocket says, you can only see Freeview 254 if you have a smart TV, I'm afraid. However, every episode is broadcast live online, so everyone can see every show.

We hope you enjoy watching.

I used to watch them using the catch up facility on the web as we have Virgin and the live web stream was no9t very good. Are these going to appear on the web site and how long do we have to wait for them to appear as the last thing on there is the Truma special.

Hi and I am very sorry for the slow reply.

Yes, all the video reviews will filter through online soon, as we get the full written reviews to accompany them. You can also see the reviews on our YouTube channel – we uploaded some last week and more will follow this week. I hope that helps.

You've really let yourself go since you had your profile pic taken Kate!

I watched this for the first time tonight. Unfortunately the sound quality is not up to standard. Presentation was fair, though covering two similar vans in the same episode, resulted inevitably in similar shots and descriptions.
Nothing against the presenter, but he is clearly a sturdy and tall chap. This had the effect of making some areas of the caravans look cramped - at one point he stretched out on a double bed that looked far too small as a result (unless it really was that small). The workshop slot was good, more of these please.

Watched last nights show and was shocked that the Sky EPG had Practical Caravan and Motorhome down as penultimate episodes. Is this correct? It's only just started.

Yes, that's right, but we will be repeating these shows, plus filming for our next series is underway.
