Freesat in Static Caravan

seven-day-weekend

I have a Freesat set-up in my static caravan. I do not have a permanent internet connection.

It has a Bush box which is very slow to respond. Will a new one be any faster and if so what do people recommend?

If you look at the Freesat website you will see there are currently seven boxes six of which are recorders and all made by Humax.

I have satellite receiver from Maplins, point at a dish Astra 28 and away you go. Slightly different channels but no need for internet.

At one time Bush , like several other, now discontinued, brands was a once household name, but these were eventually bought out by one company with the only differences in products being the badge.


Bush is now at the economy end of the market, so there are better alternatives. I have had two Humax and two other brands and Humax outshone and outlasted the others.

Humax it is then , thanks. We inherited the system when we bought the 'van.

A friend has tried the Maplin setup, we couldn't get it to get any channels. It kept saying it had got them but there were none there. Don't know what we were doing wrong.

At least with my existing setup I know the satellite is facing the right way!

Thanks all for your advice.
