If you are anything like me and then you too love catching up on your favourite TV shows. Those stormy nights away when you don’t fancy braving the elements so you just curl up in your motorhome or caravan and you just want to be lazy and watch TV. But how do we get a good service? How much does it cost, and how do we attach our dish without seriously damaging our pride and joy?

Speaking with the their Sales Director, Phil Newbury, he gave us some great insight into what is needed for a good digital TV service and cleared up a lot of fears that tourers have regarding attaching dishes to homes and then running cables to the inside.
