Big Momma Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Have got Camos Dome on my M'Home. Have used it in UK without any problems. Going to Spain in just under 3 Weeks, as far South as Valencia and will try it out at all our stops along the way so if you are not in too much of a hurry to purchase and can wait until I return in Mid-August I will let you know how it performs :-> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapido-lass Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 We have an Oyster satellite system on our motorhome and are very pleased with it. It has worked in all over the place - UK, Spain, Gibralter etc up to Norway. We are also pleased with the original installation and change over to our new motorhome. It isn't just the product but also the fitting and advice anytime. You can always pm me if you want further details and anything technical I can ask the OH!!

Clive Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Your passengers can watch satellite TV on the move with a Camos. For its size its quite sensitive although you might struggle in southern Spain. Conventional dishes can be bigger and fold lower and cost less. A friend has a Camos and suffered a mechanical failure, something about the "rubber band breaking". It was not expensive or complicated to replace I understand. But next time he said he would probably get a Maxview crank up. Our conventional Crystop Autosat 2 dish was fitted to the MH when we bought it. Its biggest problem is the SKY box which it has as an add on. Although its fitted with a SKY free to air card it quite frequently looses authority and I have to ring up SKY and get them to reset it. Aparently SKY boxes are expected to be connected to a dish facing Astra 2 all the time and turned ON so they can update it when THEY feel like it. How selfish of them!! At least the Autosat decoder always works. Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
