I have a question!

[BUSHWHACKER]

For those of you that have a TV in your trucks or caravans, what is the best aerial to use, standard analogue type that is.
I have a 10" LCD monitor that is 12v powered, so I'll be using it when camping if possible.

Fancks!

why don't you know this?

you're shattering alot of people's faith of your all-knowingness...or something, i don't know.

this could lead to suicides...possibly....maybe not, my curry's ready!!!

Vince - have you tried a caravan type shop / online store - they'd sell that type of ariel. could even mount one of those circular type AWAX type ariels on your roof!!!

[hawkwind]

for our caravan we use a washing line pole from wilkinsons with one of their aerials tie wrapped to our jockey wheel.
Although this year we have become mor sophisticated and fixed it to our jockey wheel wih some u type bracket and bolts

[dieselboy]

something about signals not propagating correctly to moving ariels,
but anycase me personally would use a coat hanger




just kidding

Is it for mounting on the Surf? Depends what you want, so to speak. An Omni will work regardless of positioning, but the gain will be low. A directional aerial has better gain, but requires alignment.

I've got a little one that came with the USB TV thingy for my laptop - but today, I'm fitting my new 8" touchscreen with TV built in, so I'll plug it in and see what it's like.

Otherwise, I'd go to Specialist Leisure and see what they've got


(I'm with Logey - how did you not know this????)

[marky]

Coat hanger if all else fails! You wont get SKY or CABLE though

Got a seven inch LCD in the truck , use a set top type of areial with
a built in switchable amplifier , pick them up from any Esso truck stop /
services for about £12:00 ish , seems to work fine all over the country when
the truck is static that is

Not sure Matt. Thought they might of been good though.

They're all designed to the same specs, so unless you're travelling way up north, they should all work spot bollock. You can get the motorised fold down types that are auto positioning and everything.
