How to get Sky TV in a caravan
Most folks don’t know the accurate process to get the Sky TV installed in their caravan, and that’s why they have to travel missing the favourite programs. But we don’t want you to do the same.
Check out this complete process to get Sky TV in your caravan and how to install it correctly.
- First off, of course, you have to purchase the Sky TV satellite system from an authorized seller. There are multiple sellers available in the UK, so you won’t be finding it hard to use the satellite system.
- Coming to the installation, you need a compass before you mount the satellite on your caravan’s roof or have a tripod system.
- Aim the satellite dish to 145-degree using a compass, a South to Southeast direction.
- Make sure that the angle of elevation is around 25-degrees so that the satellite system works fine. In the UK, the actual angle can be between 21 – 27 degrees depending on where you are. Just be aware, the dish’s arm will look straight at this angle, kind of an optical illusion, so use the compass to check the angle.
- Now connect the cable to the receiver’s box and then connect the receiver to your caravan’s TV.
- Once, all the loose wires are connected, turn the TV and go to the receiver box settings using the remote.
- Navigate to the signal test option to ensure that the angle of the satellite dish is perfect for an interruption-free viewing experience.
- With the dish connected and roughly, if the signal strength is poor, you can tweak the dish a little bit and then recheck the signal strength.
- If you struggle and get annoyed at this process, you can invest in a satellite signal finder which will make the alignment far easier.
- You have to move the dish until you get good signal quality and strength for watching TV.
- Now anchor the dish on the caravan properly to ensure that it doesn’t fall off due to bumps and heavy winds.
So you have aligned your dish, and the TV is working fine? Pat yourself on the back! But there’s one more thing you should know.
If you are travelling with your kids, then there’s a fair chance that you don’t get enough time to watch the football match. But we are here with a solution for it as well.
