Best antenna you can use are those ones that you get ontop of your house. Those small ones might look better, but they dont work anywhere near as good as what a proper antenna works. You can get them from caravan/motorhome places that you can dismantle easy so you can have them on the truck then take them down or whatever.
Best to look for one with the digital tick. You can pick up digital signals on a normal antenna, but if your in a crappy area then having a proper antenna for digital is better.
Theres a few in work that the company who made them just put a sticker on saying it will pick up digital, but they arent the best for digital.

Might have been me, I was sort of that way heading home, on the A10 between Poitiers and Tours. (Just had to look on a map to find out which bit’s were the A10 )

Really if your using one in your truck the one at home shouldnt be used because this is what the rules say
Really? Well in that case you better let the TV licensing people know about these rules because that’s not what they say with regard to trucks.

Oh really
There is a way around it by the way, convert your TV to black and white with no sound, only half a TV then.

“You don’t need a separate TV Licence for”
“Any device powered solely by its own internal batteries (i.e. it is not connected to an aerial or plugged into the mains). Your main home’s TV Licence will cover this.”
“Boats, touring caravans or vehicles as they’re already covered by your main home’s TV Licence.”
“Static caravans, mobile homes or moveable chalets. Your main home’s TV Licence will cover you provided you don’t watch TV in both homes at the same time. In this case you would need to complete a declaration form.”

So there you go.

This question has come up several times on here and the answer is still the same. It’s just the usual driver’s bullcrap and you do not need a licence for a TV in the truck as long as you have one at home. It also doesn’t matter how many sets you have at home or whether the one at home is being used at the same time.It’s all on the TV Licensing site as clear as can be.

if you read the last section it is quite clear from your own post. “provided you don’t watch TV in both homes at the same time”
why are you giving people stick when its clearly stated in YOUR POST!!

I already posted that bit and it clearly shows you don’t need a licence for a truck provided you have one at home and it doesn’t matter if teh one at home is being used at teh same time as you use the one in the truck. So in fact by posting this you have confirmed that when you wrote
JoeG:

you were indeed talking ■■■■■■■■ because the rules don’t say that at all.
I posted it and joe posted it both direct quotes of your post. are you reading a different text to the rest of us?

Because we are talking about trucks, not static caravans, mobile homes or moveable chalets so it obviously isn’t as clear to you as you think. Try reading it again and seeing if you can see where it clearly says you don’t need a licence for a vehicle and there is no restriction, with regard to vehicles, about not using the TV in the vehicle and at home at the same time.

No same text. Difference is I am obviously noticing things such as paragraphs and you and Joe aren’t. The bit about not using two sets in different locations at the same time doesn’t apply to boats, touring caravans or vehicles or to devices powered by their own internal batteries. The quote from the TV license site list three separate situations and you have to read each one separately and not apply the conditions from one to the other, which is what you and Joe are doing by applying the conditions for a static caravan or mobile home to a vehicle.
The clue is in the third paragraph where it says -
Your main home’s TV Licence will cover you provided you don’t watch TV in both homes at the same time.
A vehicle or touring caravan is not a home whereas a static caravan or mobile home is regarded as such. If that sentence applied to vehicles, boats and touring caravans then it would say both locations rather than both homes.
I see your point but not sure its as simple as that. What is the difference between a mobile home and a vehicle for example?

A mobile home tends to be in one location for long periods, as are static caravans and they are regarded as dwellings. Vehicles tend to move about a bit more and are not homes, you can see they make a point in differentiating between static and touring caravans with only one being a home. On one of the many previous occasions this topic has been raised on these boards, in fact I think it was years back on one of the older versions of the forums I emailed the TV licence people for clarification because the same was happening then as it is now, people applying the conditions for one situation where a TV is used to another. The licence people confirmed as far as a truck, or any other vehicle goes, the TV at home and in the vehicle can be used at the same time with one licence.

what do you reckon
sorry dont know how to do polldo you need a seperate one for the truck

We dont need to get our knickers in a twist about some legislation that may apply,but can’t be enforced.
