Busy in Batemans Bay

Dougwe · Chief one feather

All of a sudden.

The caravan show has people coming from all over by the look of it, must be big. The CV park I am in is chockas. It's been busy anyway but extra busy now. I'm heading to the show in the morning.

Might have to look into a better system for TV I think, it's no good for me, yet I here TV's going in other vans, I' puzzled with that one confuse confuse I even have a lead from the office plugged into a park antenna they have set up around the place. Seems the more plugged in the less I get on the TV, nothing tonight.

What are you using for TV at the moment ?

Dougwe · Chief one feather

I have a Grundig 22" HD TV Chris.

The TV transmitter for Batemans Bay is 18km away West-South West. Ch 7 and 10 are on UHF, ABC,SBS and 9 on VHF all horizontally polarised.

I just do auto scan Chris each time I set up. I have the round Saturn antenna but nothing here as in a bad area so the park supply a lead you plug into antennas set up around the park and each site has a allocated plug if you want it. No big deal only $2 for your stay. I leave Saturday morning for Kiama anyway.

Is 12 volts going to the Saturn antenna OK ? I would have thought you would get something from there...

Dougwe · Chief one feather

My Saturn works Ok usually but I am in a bit of a black spot from what I have been told so the CV Park Antenna's have boosters on them. I tried connecting my power supply as well in line but still no good. I even hooked up to my Saturn as well as the CV park one into a splitter but still no go.

Yes Chris the 12 volt works Ok usually but not here. No problem now as I don't need it here anymore, well maybe want is a better word.

Thanks anyway for the info and help.

Dougwe, you will need tv later down the track so why not look at a sat system (VAST).

If you do go sat then make sure you register as a traveller.

Have a look at http://www.satplus.com.au/ but do not get their fold up dish, get one that sits on a tripod, much easier to use.
