Possibly the only time I've been to a web page with a Portaloo listed under "More Highlights"!

Only £59 at Maplin though - www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=48737&TabID=1&source=1&doy=22m5

First off, hello everyone. This is my first post so please be nice

In answer to the first poster, yeah we are planning to take down some satellite kit. I've got a spare dish and 14" TV so it's just a matter of getting an voltage inverter or something. Should be pretty sweet.

A word of warning on those Maplin kits. The BBC and ITV are on Astra 2D which is aimed directly at the UK. When you get further away from the centre of the beam it gets weaker and their dish is a bit on the small side. Northern France shouldn't be too bad, but if it rains you could have problems. We'll be using an old Sky analogue dish which should be plenty big enough.

We are this year for the first time. Sky box and card from mates ski chalet, Honda generator and inverted umbrella style clothes line to mount dish on. Doing trial run before Le Mans.

If all works as plans should be the dogs, particularly if it pisses down.

My Dad just had sky a flatscreen and motorised dish installed in the camper so we should be just sweet, we don't even have to tune it in

Yer, I thought it was a bit over the top but Dad convinced Mum he will get the use out of it
