Catch the Match: How to Hook Up Cable TV on Your Pitch

If you want to enjoy mountain days without missing the big game or your evening show, cable TV on your pitch makes camping feel even more comfortable. At Camping Ötztal Längenfeld, cable TV is included on every pitch, so you can return from hiking, skiing, or a day out in the valley and settle in with your own setup.

This guide explains how to hook up cable TV on your pitch, what equipment you need, where to connect it, and how to avoid the most common setup issues. You will also find practical tips to make arrival day easier and your stay more relaxed.

Is cable TV included on every pitch?

Yes. Cable TV is provided on every pitch and is included at no additional cost.

That means guests on the pitches can use a TV connection without paying extra for the service. Cable TV is part of the included services alongside WIFI, use of the sanitary facilities and hot water, public bus lines within Ötztal, the ski-shuttle in winter, the fitness room, drying room for clothes, and family-friendly facilities such as the children’s indoor play paradise, toddler room, and baby care room.

For many campers, this combination matters. After an active day, it is useful to have simple comforts already covered, especially when you want to relax indoors for an hour or keep up with live sport.

How to hook up cable TV on your pitch

Setting up cable TV is straightforward.

What you need

To use the TV connection on your pitch, you need:

You do not need a receiver.

Where to connect it

Each pitch has a digital cable TV connection in the power box. Connect one end of the coaxial cable to your TV and the other end to the cable TV connection in the power box.

Quick step-by-step setup

  1. Park and set up your pitch as usual.
  2. Locate the power box on your pitch.
  3. Find the digital cable TV connection inside the box.
  4. Connect your coaxial cable with male connectors on both ends.
  5. Open your TV settings and make sure your television is set up for DVB-C.
  6. Run a channel search if needed.

In most cases, that is all you need to do.

What kind of TV works on the pitch connection?

The key requirement is simple: your TV must support DVB-C.

DVB-C is the standard used for digital cable television. In practical terms, this means the TV can receive cable channels directly through the cable connection without needing a separate receiver. If your television has DVB-C support, you can connect it straight to the cable TV outlet in the power box.

If you are unsure, check your TV manual or the tuning options in the settings menu. A television that offers cable tuning or DVB-C in its channel setup is the right type for this connection.

Which cable should you bring?

Bring a coaxial cable with male connectors on both ends.

This is the specific cable type needed to connect your television to the digital cable TV outlet on the pitch. If you already travel with a caravan or motorhome TV kit, it is worth checking your cable before departure so you know it matches this requirement.

Helpful packing tip

Add the following to your camping checklist:

A quick check at home can save time after arrival.

Forgot your cable? There is an easy solution

If you do not have a suitable cable with you, you can borrow one at reception.

The deposit is 36,00.

That is a practical option for guests who arrive without the right connector or who want to travel lighter. It also means you do not need to cut your evening short if you realise only after setup that your own cable does not fit.

Why cable TV still matters on a camping holiday
