Have you got a magnetic aerial with it? If so, stick it on your barrow, I used to have a similar model and it wouldn't work otherwise

I don't have that model but one from maplins (before they went under) what I've found is tune them in at home first , buy a camping areal or the type that looks like an old style house aireal but a lot smaller then get a portable signal booster or even a house one that runs on 5v or 12v it will work then

A booster makes a big difference if your not to close to the transmitter, I had a Nextbase TV with a boosted aerial years ago, the best you could get at the time.

Don't waste your time with Curry's, absolute ****ers and **** products, buy from a truckers or camping shop, much better brands.

As stated make sure it has a magnetic base and stick it on the barrow.

Tuning in at home is pointless if where you fish is covered by a different transmitter so only do it down the lake.

PS: for the price of the tv you could probably get a data only sim to watch tv/sky on a pad for a year??

I used to use a signal booster that took 2x AA batteries and attached the portable aerial to the top of a made up rod with velco straps and propped it up against the bivvy, usually got a really good signal, not doing more than 24 hours these days so go as light as possible and havent used the tv in a couple of years - I think the signal is a lot stronger now a days.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
