Julz Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Im still baffled as to what those nose cone type things are that are starting to adorn the bows of some of the latest Faircraft, last time i spotted something similar it was on the bridge roof onboads P&O's Arcadia We got a bet going here, I say there Sat Tv gear, Bill says there a tracking device for security reasons Whos right?

Brian Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Havent they heard of Digital Freeview ? Using a normal TV ariel, far more cost effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 cant they stick a caravan ariel on the roof ? they are white and look nice, would save a fortune compared to a computer tracking satalite system on the bows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senator Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Caravan aerials arn't that effective on the Broads Brian, I have a status omi directional which is generaly rated as the best omi directional you can get, it is mounted on a pole on top of the arch so is about 15' high and it is still very hit and miss as to getting a signal.

Jim Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 We just watch TV through the "snowstorm" of a picture We actually talk more when we're on the boat Even though, I did suffer the X Factor a couple of weeks before Christmas on our 12 inch colour portable with battery powered antenna...........the wine helped a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
