Fitted Manual Satellite Systems

This is ordinarily a dish type system, that is fitted through the roof of your vehicle. It has either a crank up type operation or in some cases a motor for the elevation, but you then have to rotate the unit to pinpoint the satellite. This type of unit is usually installed by a professional but is possible to install by a competent D.I.Y person.


Manual / Portable Satellite system

Portable Satellite Systems

The manual or portable satellite system refers to any satellite dish that is not directly installed onto your caravan. Therefore by this definition it also covers satellite systems that have been attached to the caravan on a temporary basis and must be removed before you travel. This type of system will not need installing.

Other component parts

The Caravan Satellite System Receiver box

SKY Digi-box

The dish or dome is indeed the main component part of any caravan satellite system but you also have to consider the receiver. This can be either a SKY box, a Free To Air (FTA) receiver or a UK FREESAT box.

The Sky box is becoming a thing of the past following Sky's decision to stop selling the Sky box as a stand alone unit. They have advised that the Sky digibox can only be purchased witha contract now.


Satellite Tuner or Sat-Finder

Satellite Finder

This is a vital part of the fitted manual and portable systems, but is not required for the automatic system. The sat-finder can be either a simple device that whistles or a complicated device that shows the satellite you are on, signal strength and signal quality.


Tripods & Mountings

Tripod

We will take a look at the wide verity of satellite system mounting methods for caravans. We will look at tripods, Suction mounts and clamps. The tripod is an old favorites for the caravan owner as it gives you freedom to move the caravan satellite system about. The other methods are ways to secure the dish to the van, this may not be the best method but it dues give you a secure tamper free mounting surface.


Television or LCD TV

DQT 17 Inch HD TV

This will be a very, very brief look at the best television for the caravan satellite system. It will be brief because we do not want to have to create another whole website to cover all the television.


NEW!! Mobile Broadband

Mobile Broadband

Mobile Broadband allows you to connect to the internet wherever you are, regardless of whether you are in a Wi-Fi hotspot or near a phone line. The information isn't received through a fixed-line modem so you don't have to worry about line rental and you don't always have to connect to the net using the same computer. In the same way that your mobile phone works, you can access the internet all over the country (and overseas if you like) as long as your service provider (the mobile broadband company you sign up to) covers the area that you're in
