Camping and C/S

[Jerboa]

I was away camping in France last week, took a 80cm dish for something to do in my spare time, got some decent signals, was wondering if it's worth connecting a enigma or viark box to mobile network to open channels?

Why not uses very little data

Yeah as I thought, anyone tried this themselves?

Loads of people take their boxes to the caravans you just need an Internet connection.

Get a fire stick or mobile android device and use that if you have a decent network connection. Why setup all that crap for a couple of days.

It's the challenge and gives us something to do.

firestick would use far more data and if abroad you are normally limited to how much data you can use. You got to take all the camping crap so might as well throw box and dish in LOL

If you go camping/travelling alot it could be worth buying starlink or something similar if you are away for long periods at a time?

You probably only need a cheap 4G sim and something like this. As someone else says, CS would require such small amounts of data.

My mate did a test many years ago heres his post
Test run by jimihendrix satellite forum member
As promised last week, I weeks total usage reading is 28MB (0.028GB) so it would take 250 days to use 1GB or put another way approximately 1.5GB a year.
Again this setup was used for around 15 hours a day for the 7 days so represents fairly heavy usage.
For members on a limited internet allowance the actual monthly usage would amount to around 0.12GB a month note this is just 12% of a 1GB/monthly allowance.

I tried to use my phone as a hotspot for my viark box, it connected but didn't clear any channels.
