I think I have beat Dougwe's record.
Permalink  

So parked up here at Grafton, what a perfect spot I am in, except still cannot get television. So when speaking to the couple in the MH down from me she suggested that I move Miss Daisy forward a bit, out of the way of the tree that might have been blocking the signal. Good idea I think. 

So today unhooked, unplugged, re-arranged all and sundry, ready to move. Wait for it. 

AROUND THREE FEET. 

Set everything up again. all good took me about an hour all up. All level again, all plugged in, my site now looks neat and tidy again instead of a mad woman's breakfast. 

ANNNNDDDDD.....STILL NO FLIPPING FLOPPING TELE. 

 

I really think Miss Daisy is having an electrical problem somewhere so will give up now until I get to a larger centre and have it checked out properly, to see if it is the antenna or something else. 

I think my three feet might have bet your minature trip Doug. Could be wrong though.

Sharon get yourself the "Antenna Mate" App if you don't already have it. Might just be a slight direction problem.

You are the new record holder, congratulations.

You remind me of my days as a contortionist trying to get a signal with one of those long curly indoor antennas, Shekon.

Actually Gary, I figured if this is the worse thing I have to worry about then it is not really worth the effort. Then gave myself a good talking to this morning, told myself to get on with life or actually get one and just stop whinging. I will have a knock on the door from Yeoeleven shortly with his bottle of whingy pills.
