Does this mean they don't pick up BBC/ITV? My mum has a caravan in Devon,
and picking up a signal in the valley is difficult. Most people in the
valley have dishes, but she doesn't do monthly commitments at all,
especially for TV. I was going to buy her a Sky+ box, but she'll need a
sub
for that anyway.
Cheers,
