Portable Sky in La France

[dan101smith]

We want to be able to pick up Sky TV when we go camping in France this year.

I'm vaguely aware that we will probably have to use a dish. That's about where my knowledge ends.

Can someone please give me a list of exactly what we need to be able to do it?

Cheers!

Something like a slingbox may be your best bet

Lots of info here:

You need a dish and some way to fix it to the caravan or clamp it to a pole etc. You will also need a way of finding the correct satellite, you can get a small 'screamer' sat finder for about £20 from Maplin. A compass will help as well.

Just take your own Sky box.

Obviously your Sky system runs 230v.

Do you really want to watch TV on holiday? Why not just drink and have sex?


ETA. Maplins do this if all you want is FTA channels.
