Why are our VAST satellite kits popular among caravaners, campers and remote travellers in Australia?

Reliable Free-to-Air TV Reception Anywhere in Australia

Our satellite kits are specifically designed for use with Australia’s VAST (Viewer Access Satellite Television) service - the government broadband satellite TV platform that delivers free-to-air channels nationwide, including remote areas where terrestrial TV doesn’t reach. The Platinum kit comes with a 100% Australia coverage guarantee, so you get a TV signal almost anywhere you travel.

Comprehensive All-In-One Package

What makes the Platinum kits stand out is that it includes everything you need to get set up and watching quickly:

• Satellite dish and tripod
• VAST-compatible receiver with smartcard
• High-quality LNB and cables
• Angle meter/inclinometer and compass
• Carry bag and setup instructions
  
  This all-inclusive nature saves you hunting down separate parts and avoids compatibility issues.

Easy Setup for Non-Technical Users

At Access Antennas we emphasise user-friendly design: the removable arm on the dish, spirit level, clear angle indicators, and tools like a digital satellite finder make alignment much easier than older satellite systems - a big plus when setting up on uneven ground.

Proven Track Record and Support

The Platinum series is developed and patented in Australia and has been sold for many years. We've sold over 15,000 satellite kits sold over 20+ years.

Portable & Durable for Travel

These kits are designed with travellers in mind - compact, rugged and easy to transport in a caravan, camper or 4WD setup. This kind of portability is ideal for people who want TV without having a permanently mounted dish on a roof or awning.

Good Value Compared to Automatic Systems

Compared to fully automatic motorised satellite systems (which can cost several thousand dollars), portable kits like the Platinum offer a much more affordable option while still achieving excellent reception and flexibility.

The Platinum VAST satellite kit is popular because it’s a complete, well-engineered, easy-to-use and reliable solution for free-to-air TV anywhere in Australia - all backed by extensive experience, good documentation, accessories that simplify alignment, and coverage guarantees.
