![]() Its actually got to the point where most people don’t want to watch live TV, they want to ‘stream’ content. I’ve actually recently written a post on the best caravan satellite TV options which you may be interested in Streaming TV Services in your Caravan or Motorhome ![]() So once you have found that satellite signal, if you want to keep it, securely fix the dish into position with guy ropes. Some portable satellite dishes come with guy ropes, but many don’t. However, after observing guests putting up portable satellite dishes, you need to fit guy ropes. Granted, our caravan site is located in a more elevated position than many sites, so our wind speeds are above average. So you need to make sure no trees, buildings or, importantly, caravans/motorhomes block the line of sight to the satellite. However, in this instance, your portable satellite dish is located pretty close to the ground. To be fair, Freeview can also have issues with poor signal quality due to lots of dense vegetation and buildings in the way. However, some guests have informed me of this issue on other sites. This isn’t a problem on our site as we don’t have large trees to block the signal from the satellite to your dish. This dish was similar to watching Jodrell Bank in action! We are located close to the Jodrell Bank telescope (now a World Heritage Site). When on-site, it automatically raises up and finds the direction of the satellite. This dish would lower down against the roof of the motorhome when on the road. However, I recently had a guest with a pretty high-end A-Class motorhome and integrated satellite dish. The most common option is a portable satellite dish. Some choose to use Freesat, while others use a SKY box in their caravan. We have a couple of guests who have gone this route. With Freesat, you will obviously need to purchase a satellite dish. Therefore, some people choose to go with TV’s that support Freesat. However, this might not be the case on all caravan sites you visit. Therefore, multiple BBC One’s pop up on the channel list. In fact, we pick up the signal from both the North West and Midlands transmitters. At Horton Common, due to our location and high elevation, we actually get a very good Freeview signal.
