Ok can’t afford a sat dish or dome so what’s the best tv receiver
I am glad you asked the question, I am In a similar position. I don't think I can justify the price of sat dishes and domes even if I could afford them, we don't watch that much TV when we are away. We are very soon to get a new van and I have been looking at the Status 350 which seems to be fitted on a lot of vans now when new. Just put it on the roof and forget about it, no poles protruding down into your wardrobe or cupboards and no fiddling with it. As I said to the missus, if we get a picture we watch it.....if we dont we go for a walk.

Avtex do a portable aerial which you can stick on the outside of the van when required, I used one on my last van when I didnt want to put the sat dish up and never failed to get a picture. Current van has a Status aerial on a pole through the roof for when her indoors wants to watch the soaps
Hmmm........ Does RTE have a system whereby you can download to an I-Pad for viewing later?

Milenco power 900 is a very good aerial if you do a search on the site here there's some reviews on it
We had a status and now a Milenco, I find it much handy’r than the status for picking up channels it is not perfect though, never got tv with it in Ardmore or didn’t get reception in the Flesk site in Killarney recently either. It is quit good most of the time

Ardmore is a very hit and miss spot for terrestrial TV it seems to be in a hole and you'll need height to get signal don't know about Flesk surround by mountains so I would expect signal

I had a Maxview Omnimax system in my van until the aerial was knocked off by a tree last week. They no longer make this type of aerial. and the updated pro omnimax would mean I would have to change the aerial mount and the booster. Would anyone know where I could try for a replacememt aerial please.
TV used to be on a lot more than it has been this year. We have a satellite dish but rarely use it. Bought THIS a few months ago. Really didn't really think it would be up to much, it just looks like a flat piece of plastic, but being an Amazon Prime member would allow me to return it for free, no risk. Turns out it's brilliant, used in both North and South, sometimes it may only find 10 or so channels (but sometimes my old roof aerial was no better) but always a couple of the main ones.

Will a fire stick work in the south. I know they didn’t a few years ago. Would you know of such a man. I’d be very interesting in acquiring one of them

What a great suggestion I need to get my android tablet tethered to my wife's smart phone ( I dont have a smart phone }........I haven't a clue how to do that...
dont think this would pick up saorview or am i wrong??
No such thing as a digital aerial, an aerial is an aerial, so yes it would.
I used mine in Athlone on Thursday night as the picture was breaking up. It got a perfect picture. I tried the same in a different place and it didn't help.
So it helped once and for less than £7 I'm glad I got it.

That’s a fancier version of the one I have and if there’s is reception about it will get it. Only in the likes of Glenarm can I get no reception with it.
