no diffrent to any other telly, look around you to see which direction most of the areals face [and get it polorised the same way] plug everyhting in and set the freeview tuner to scan, if you are getting a good enough signal it will self tune, if the picture is a little off go out and twiddle the areal till you have the best picture

Personally not bothered by TV on trips but SWMBO is as as we do a far bit of foreign travel we opted for a satelitte system we don't have Digital at home as we don't offically have a digital signal for another year so we would need a HUGE aerial to get it
I think that when we do go for it in the caravan we will get a TV with it built in.

When we gotthe satellite we were reliably informed that the suitcase ones would be no use when we got as far South as Catalonian Spain but I found it so easy and quick to set up it was faster than ordinary TV at home

a/ because we didn't bother trying to find any money grabbing channels (can tell we don't have sky can't you ;) ) set-up was easy
b/ we got a perfect set of UK channels
c/ it was actually quick to do

I have always found that Terrestrial systems are much more fiddly especially as you have to retune every time you move (not sure whether Digital is the same)
