WasJono Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Hello wise people I have an emergency!!!! Last night Val worked out that the final of The Voice is on Sat 6th of April, 10 weeks from tonight. That is the day we pick up Silver Serenade from Brundall so I need to find a mooring within an hour or so that guarantee's Digital reception of ITV. Is there any such thing or do I just top myself now? J 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addicted Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Is staying at Brundall an option? , We have no problem receiving ITV on board while on board at our mooring at Tingdene. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 What about Surlingham Ferry. Only a short hop from your pickup point. Not sure what the signal is like there but it was good from John Broom's yard when we were there. Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 There is also tv over a good internet signal if you have a laptop/tablet etc. I've never had any issues with tv reception anywhere around the Brundall area (I'm based there) with the exception of Rockland Staithe. Places nearby with a pub and tv reception as best I know would be The Ferry House at Surlingham Cantley Short Dyke (The New Inn at Rockland via a walk around the broad) Brammerton At just over an hour or so you could go to Commissioners Cut too or anywhere inbetween there and Cantley.

vanessan Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Probably best to avoid Bramerton, reception can be very iffy there. How about Hardley Mill, it’s good there. No pub though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pub though. Brammerton iffy really? I've always found it very good If I remember correctly. I have to confess I don't watch much tv on the boat however so you may well be correct. I didn't mention Hardley Mill or a few others as I was under the impression a pub was preferred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 How about Reedham? We certainly watched a football match in one of the pubs there some years ago. Like Jay, we don't put the tv on much, preferring the art of conversation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surlingham ferry sounds good. We have had a couple of lunch time stops in the past. I will record the programme at home just to be safe and try to extend my life expectancy a couple of years!

I agree also at times phone signals can be poor. Regards Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 If you felt like I do about the programme you would be grateful for no signal. You are supposed to be on holiday on The Broads. Quite frankly I would rather stick pins in my eyes than watch it, all that screeching. Supposed to be singing!!! Just my opinion. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 surely it cant be as bad as the onboard screeching/ singing of the captain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 We’ve managed to get TV signal most moorings except Brammerton where the signal kept breaking up and Dilham, which had no signal whatsoever and no mobile connection either.

It really does seem to be a case of the aerial reaching above the trees. We have had no problem at Dilham with our extended pole but Bramerton is a different matter, especially if it is extra windy!

That is handy stuck up at Dilham and no phone connection. Hope there is a public phone box in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanessan Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I usually find that walking a short distance from the river, particularly if you can climb a bank, produces a mobile signal. Might not be strong but it’s there in most places. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
