• The new Altech UEC DSD 4121RV with 12 volt and 240 volt support. The box comes with government VAST access smart card which is married to the box . We should let customers know the a VAST satellite receiver and smart card are needed to pick up all of the new 107 digital channels via the satellite. The VAST system has no ongoing fees or charges involved, as is run and funded by our Australian government.

• 80cm Azure Shine Steel Dish with an Australian designed removable arm which enables the arm on the dish to be completely detached so you can fold down and disassemble the dish flat in literally 10 seconds - just undo two wingnuts to unassemble the dish. It fits perfectly in the carry bag with the tripod. Dimensions: 78cm by 80cm in size, brackets are only 125mm. Best quality dish on the market in terms of durability and size. Disassembles quickly and smaller than any other dish on the market - We guarantee use in 100% of Australia (Wing nuts are included free of charge so no spanners are needed for dish alignment)
• Sharp 10.7 LNB (Austar/Foxtel Approved and Compatible)
• Optus Aurora Smart card (Old system) OR Choice of the VAST System (New System - See options below for choice of decoder)
• Latest model SF99 Satellite finder with short lead (no batteries needed, with built in light and audible tone)
• Tripod Mount - We have new high quality fully galvanised steel tripods that are engineered and designed for the caravan satellite industry - the smallest sat tripods on the market at approx 40cm when collapsed - with a low centre of gravity so the dish is more stable in heavy wind (See picture on the left). It comes with a built in spirit level to ensure the highest signal levels when the ground is not flat. They come with adjustable legs to get the tripod level, and each leg has holes to peg it down. (No extra cost when purchasing the deluxe system as part of the current promotion - Normally Extra $40). For customers requesting the aluminum speaker tripod stand - we do not recommend these as it takes up more storage place, has no built in spirit level or adjustable legs to get the dish flat and not as stable due to higher centre of gravity.
• 20m High Quality satellite cable with the highest quality government/Foxtel approved compression connectors (you can tug on the cable and the connectors will not move an inch)
• Standard Compass
• Angle finder with magnetic attachment gives a precise reading of the exact elevation angle from gravity (removes the need of having a spirit level). USING THE CLINOMETER IS THE TRICK TO A 2 MINUTE SETUP - WE GUARANTEE CUSTOMERS A 2 MINUTE SETUP WITH OUR DELUXE SYSTEMS AFTER CUSTOMERS HAVE SET UP THEIR SYSTEM MORE THAN A COUPLE TIMES
• Easy to Understand Instruction Booklet & Instructional Step by Step DVD

Information About Our Satellite TV kits

You may have seen satellite TV kits for caravans advertised elsewhere for prices ranging from ridiculously expensive to suspiciously cheap. In this case you may now be wondering how our systems stand apart from the others.

Access Antennas and Satellites has been in business for over 10 years, specialising in portable satellite TV. Over these years we have sold tens of thousands of portable satellite tv kits and built up our reputation Australia wide, offering low-priced, innovative, value for money kits using only high quality equipment. We are renowned for providing friendly service and honest advice. We offer lifetime support on all our satellite kits.

We recognise the need to provide travellers with a low-cost and easy to transport system that will deliver perfect TV reception anywhere in the country. As a West Australian business we know the issues of poor television reception in regional areas. Our personalised friendly service is second to none and when it comes to satellite equipment and set-up issues, we really know our stuff!

Given the right instructions, setting up a satellite system is NOT a complicated procedure, and so we don't charge you for unnecessary gimmicks!

We only supply good quality equipment that won’t let you down when you're in the middle of nowhere, all at a price that won’t break the bank and with friendly ongoing support.

With DIY satellite caravan tv kits, some companies offer equipment with features that they claim will make the set-up process easier (the biggest example being the "digital" satellite finder), but they also charge an exorbitant amount for these features. You might also find some "backyard operators" selling caravan satellite kits in caravan parks and other places at similar prices as us. However, the questions to ask before you buy from them are

1. Do competitors supply the latest VAST satellite receiver with VAST smart card with their kits - some sellers are still selling receivers with the old optus aurora card for the old optus aurora system which will be shut off in 2013. Make sure you are getting a VAST satellite receiver. After the analogue switch over you will need to purchase a VAST satellite receiver. Do not be a sucker for our competitors tricks on cheap kits without the proper receiver box. We do not like to draw people into our store with cheap prices in order to sell outdated technology.

2. Do they sufficiently educate their customers on how to use the equipment?

3. Do they provide comprehensive but easy to understand instructions in English (i.e. a comprehensive instruction booklet plus a DVD), or do they only provide a few poorly written incomprehensible pages.

3. Do they provide proper equipment to easily locate the satellite? (i.e. Wing nuts for easy adjustment that remove the need to use a spanner, compass, a satellite finder and clinometer).

4. Is the satellite TV dish designed for portable use, does it have a removable arm, will the dish fit in a bag. There are many house dishes out there which are not portable and do not fold down easily which many novice satellite technicians sell. Most people do not know the difference until it is too late.

5. Do they offer friendly customer service or help anywhere in Australia after the sale.

Beware competitors that charge marginally less (some components are similar), but use cheap, low quality equipment in order to maintain their profit margins. Our company has thrived in the competitive satellite TV market in Western Australia by having lower profit margins than most Eastern States companies. What this means is that we don't make as much money from each system as other companies but still offer the same high quality equipment

In summary

We have carried out extensive research and development to perfect our systems. We source the most appropriate high quality robust components, and some components are exclusive to us.
Our DIY kits are easy to assemble and use, and they are more compact and reliable than other kits on the market.
Our instructions on DVD are comprehensive and easy to follow, making it very easy to set-up and align the dish.
We have experienced friendly staff
We give after sales support, service and advice
We provide all round value for money (service and quality)

Access Antennas and Satellites take care that your satellite system not only works - but works perfectly!

The Auslog antenna has a massive 30 elements

Logarithms are related to musical tones and intervals. The same science is being more and more applied in the communications industry and in this case giving an increased signal strength over yagi antennas using older technology.

Why invest into old technology when you can get latest RF technology in this small but sophisticated digital antenna. These antennas work unbelievably well in weak signal areas, exceptionally well in valleys, and even country towns. This antenna picks up every channel inside our showroom while big Australian made yagi antennas stuggle.

The length and spacing of the elements of a log-periodic antenna increase logarithmically from one end to the other. A plot of the input impedance as a function of logarithm of the excitation frequency shows a periodic variation.

ABOUT THE AUSLOG ANTENNA - AUSTRALIA'S FAVOURITE AUSTRALIAN MADE ANTENNA

The AusLog is designed for the harsh Australian environment and are made from high quality aluminium alloy with added rust inhibitor. Auslog peroidic log antennas will last much longer than the standard conventional yagi type.

We highly recommend customers to support the Australian work force and support the Australian Made AusLog digital TV antenna. It does not contain any plastic supports which can break with time nor does it contain joining screws which can rust or heavy long elements for birds to break when they land on. The thin alloy rods are mechanically forced into the shaft to literally make the antenna unbreakable.
