TV BANDIT


Afternoon fellow GN's.

Does anyone here in OZ have one of these TV Bandit's. Are they any good, how much etc.

I started to check their site but they want all your details before choosing what you want

Hi Doug,

Gooday I am very cautious of these sites who wish to know what you had for Breakfast before they are prepared to tell you how much their product is. Hmmmmmmmmm!!??I bought an Indoor Digital Antennae from Aldi a couple of weeks ago to set up our caravan  TVfor a Guest we had, cost me $24-95, bit dubious, but it works perfectly, recommended it to some other and one bloke got one at their Aldi on special for $20-00 and another bloke got his for $10-00 at another Aldi on special.

 So that may help your decision.

Hey Dougie, Mate save your time and your money.

No way this antenna will work any better than what you have now. The only system that works well in Aus is the vast satellite system. Provided there is no heavy rain between you and the sat.

ring me if you want to chat about it.

Thanks everyone you have confirmed my thoughts really. I will just keep deleting the link that comes through daily furious

KFC, thanks mate, one day it might happen but TV really isn't that important anyway lately. Now I know why I call you a mate though smile


PS. If you can't use Vast in rain I can't see the point as that is when you want to watch some TV confuse cry

 Hi Dougwee

Thank you for bringing this product up, we were up Maryborough Qld and found we had no tv signal and was looking for cheap answers.

We were on stand by to do a bit of Grandparenting if needed, so stuck in the one spot for a couple of weeks and no tv, not a big deal normally.

Did learn to play a dvd though the tv, yes that was good, did learn to stream a movie though the internet, will not be doing that again, heavy data usage.

Can not use the vast in the rain, that only time we want entertainment, so that really is out.

 Is that coming through your email or popping up on a web page. If it is through email then your mail client will have a link/button somewhere to mark it as spam. When you label it as spam it will be directed straight to the spam box and you will not see it in your inbox again.

 I really have not had a lot of trouble with rain....but a heavy thunderstorm may block the signal or may cause pixelating until the storm passes.

The home satellite systems are the same. We had Fox at home and sometimes lost the signal for short times in extrememy bad weather.

Give me vast anytime for ease of set up. I was in Cunnamulla last weekend and note that most of the houses have two TV aerials on their roofs pointing different directions by about 30 degrees. Hard to do that with most caravan free to air antennae.

 G'day Paul, mate any rain dense enough to block my signal. lol Thunderstorms do it too. The rain usually does not last long when it is that heavy though.
