Hi

we've been members for about 3 years now and love, love, love we are truly hooked with the caravan addiction laughing  We love going to the New Forest sites and I have always brought the internet year option which is great and so easy to set up and connect to.  My query is and apologies if this has already been discussed, I have only used a small part of my minutes (due to the obvious ugh foot-in-mouth lockdown) and wondered if anyone knew if the club were extending the minutes into the next year or will I loose them and have to get another year subscription?

Thanks in advance for your help

 

Regards Claire

We have a smart TV in our motorhome... what dongle / set up would be best for some internet access?

Use your 4/5g phone and set it up as a wifi hotspot. Even poor 4g reception will be better than the club wifi.

I do this in conjunction with an Amazon fire stick plugged into the HDMI slot. Works fine on most sites - not Brighton though if you are on EE - no reception

I subscribed to Club WIFI in May when I was at Clumber park site (Silver), and managed to connect and stream TV on and off during my stay. I thought this was due to low quality (Silver) of the WIFI on the site.

Next three of site I had booked based to WIFI quality as described on the Club website to be GOLD, Cayton Village, The Firs and Grafham Water. I did not manage to connect at any of these sites. I rang Air Angel who were not much help either. The person informed me that their WIFI does not support streaming services.

In the end I gave up on the Club WIF and purchased mobile sim and used it as hotspot to stream the TV. 

The information on the Club website is very misleading. 

I can't find any information about cancelling my WIFI subscription as I have not managed to use it.

That’s not what the club say about their new improved service, which should support streaming. Can’t see it myself, if more than a handful want to stream, but that’s what they put “✓ Streaming movies, checking emails and posting photos is even easier”

When it is rolled out to all sites maybe? But there are I understand several sites in difficulty when it comes to access to fibre cable supply ,and some still to be connected.
