TV signal at Clumber campsite

The site operator could choose which satellite channels to push out on the booster system. Have you never met this?

Then there’s cable provision, again without the full range of channels as desired.

Then there’s the system as in use at Stover with a central aerial that just needs your own aerial to be directed at it.

I’ve no idea what they do at Clumber but things aren’t as cut and dried as you implied, David, as what you receive via a normal aerial or dish doesn’t necessarily relate to commercial booster systems.

At the majority of CC sites we have stayed at. The TV channels have had exactly the same freeview numbers as those at home, sometimes 100 or so channels. As DK pointed out, when tuning in you are often presented with more than one region. At Clumber its East Midlands or Yorkshire. If you choose EM you get hardly any viable channels, as even with the booster it is weak.

Buxton certainly used to be Satellite derived, as was Morvich. Although when we recently visited Buxton I think it is now freeview.

Thanks everyone, will just give it a try when we arrive, not about to buy another coax from the office as I have 2 at home and a big drum of coax cable. Might get some in Worksop as we will be going,  its where OH comes from (Tammygirl) 

Only there for a couple of nights so no problem if we don't get a signal . I think the last time we were there we had the MH so had the roof dish. 

Thanks for your help.

Don't you have the phone app "Antenna Aligner"?  that should give the signal strength of the local TV transmitters as well as there direction and polarisation and according to the app from that site the Belmont transmitter is showing a signal strength of 4 out 5 bars a direction of 83 deg and horizontal 

Not a lot of good at Clumber as phone/wifi signals are zilch!!

Yes OH, does have an app but as we are not there yet and knowing others on here would be able to offer their help he asked.

As he said last time there we had satellite on the MH so used that. This time it will be the caravan aerial  (or nothing  )

NTH,  pretty much what I told OH 

As NH says mobiles don't work there, despite coverage checkers saying they should. Although the TV signal might be four out of five bars  at the top of a pole, such as the CC put their aerial on, it certainly isn't at normal caravan / MH height. The problem with all these Apps is they only rely on topography and don't take into account other factors, such as a high density of fairly high trees or buildings.

You could always resort to talking, playing cards, have a drink or all of them.

 knew that one would come out at some point.

Simple answer is, I want to 

OH rarely posts on here I wonder why 

Many thanks to those who gave useful info.

Always pleased to help, TG.
