Watching the telly will be infinitely better than most of the supposed entertainment on in those holiday camps.

Moved to the Freeview forum. I'm not sure your holiday TV viewing really fits with "Current Affairs", Arthur

Welcome to the sticks.
The Freeview box'll need re-tuning, and you'd need a very good quality high-gain aerial, possibly with a booster, to get a signal out there. It's about 30-odd miles to the transmitter.
