    Thanks YT. I will try again when we go next year. As I say we don’t normally bother with TV in France, but it would be nice to be able to watch the odd programme. I’ll also investigate a free VPN, as TG uses, from the App Store.

    David very similar to us. We started touring with a 45cm dish which was great in Germany, Belgium, Netherlands and  Northern France. As we progressed to further south we bought a 65cm dish which served us well until they changed the footprint. We need a bigger dish says OH, so an 85cm one was purchased while we were abroad. Picking up a signal is certainly testing at times but OH now has a gizmo that is pretty fool proof. Of course that is with a manual dish that we use with the caravan. 

    The MH has an automatic all singing all dancing one. So much easier press a button and off it goes, so long as there's no trees in its path.

    We don't have Sky so rely on Astra 2 or in Spain and Portugal Intelsat 901.

    In the springtime we watch very little tv but at this time of year when it's dark by 17.30 in Portugal and 18.30 in Spain we do watch it more. Its not warm enough now to sit out in the evenings either.

    As YT says being able to use your phone, tablet or laptop to watch the odd programme is fairly easy nowadays.

    I'm definitely not tech savvy but have managed to workout (with a little help) how to 'cast' from my phone to the TV should we not be able to pickup a sat signal.

    YT, I guess we both posted at the same time. 🤣🤣🤣

    I think the furthest Southeast we have had a decent Astra2 signal was Cavalier sur Mer, the furthest southwest was St Jean de Luz. This year we picked it up just south of Narbonne.  However if there is 'weather'  that goes out the window.
