Installing a Tv aerial on a static caravan on a holiday park

[@frimleyfrodo]

Judging by those traffic queues, you were glad to be heading away from the Air Balloon rather than towards it!

Great to see you recording more content. Back in late 1990s I had a static caravan in Whitby and really struggled with half decent tv reception with only 4 channels from the Whitby relay. I managed to feed a wire through external mesh air outlet and installed sky zone 1 dish to balcony with spare sky box for Freesat which worked really well and within months others had installed similar system. The problem I found was that aerial sockets in the static was poor quality as was the cable which I also replaced. At that time atmospheric conditions often meant that foreign signals swamped the Whitby transmitter which was fun to see signals as far away as Norway and Sweden - no sound as they used different sound carriers but intriguing nonetheless - keep up the good work 😊.

The holiday park I go to in Weymouth has a communal aerial serving all the vans on site instead of every van having it's own aerial.

Yes the sister park of this one does literally over the road, but this sit was never wired up for it

Tidy installation but why didn’t you put the masthead amp up on the hockey stick?

Another great and enjoyable video. Would this site not be better with satellite if the signal is so bad? Or is satellite not allowed there?

[@aardvarkinstalls]

It’s allowed but it’s costly and temperamental isn’t it. Especially to multiple points, and remember it has to be holiday user friendly.

Slightly off the content of this video but as a contractor myself I often come across customers with ‘not so friendly dogs’, I’ve been bitten a few times, have you ever had that experience? Do you ask them to put the dog away?

[@aardvarkinstalls]

I’ve been nipped once and I told the customer exactly what I thought of them. To be fair most customers ask if I’m ok with dogs, and I say if they are ok with me then I am with them. If they are constantly barking I just say I’m sorry I can’t do this with them barking can they put it away. I think it’s down to the dogs preference though, maybe dogs just don’t like you? Most dogs love me and I’m often rolling around snuffling with the customers spaniel on their sitting room floor instead of working 😂
