On board entertainment is big business and there are a lot of different options out there on the market. As technology changes the on board entertainment system begin to change also. Smart TVs and internet streaming seem to be rising in popularity, but is this a future proof method?
There was a time when keeping yourself entertained when it was either raining or the night time consisted of a good book or board game. Now on sites across the world it seems as though that has become a thing of the past for many people.
There are still a lot who do partake in the old pastimes but the world of touring and entertainment has changed as people want those on board creature comforts so they can go further for longer.
As streaming TV becomes one of the most dominant media platforms on earth we are seeing the impact in the caravan world. A lot of people have invested in a smaller sized SmartTV, iPad and laptops to watch their favourite shows while on tour. But is this a cost effective way of keeping yourself entertained?
This week at the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show we caught up with Oyster-Sat Tech’s Managing Director, Julian Preston, to discuss how a satellite is still the king of touring TV solutions.
After speaking with Julian I realised that as fun and easy as streaming can be it really is not an alternative to satellite. Julian raised a lot of interesting points, many of which I think a lot of people may not actually realise. If you are streaming READ THE SMALL PRINT, as you may just spent a fair bit more than you bargained on.
