Retuning Vast decoder from Optus C1 to D1

Yep, you have to contact Vast.

What a lot of useless information – you guys only confuse the issue.

No not confusing the issue...may be some iisue with the D1/ D3 issue.

But if he is trying to set up on different transponders intended to cover a different foot print in a different service area he WILL need to get his decoder re acredited.

As usual dennis is more interested in putting other people down than being helpfull.

cheers

I agree with Dennis.

You cannot program any information into a VAST decoder. It is set to only receive VAST channels from C1 and D3.
VAST has 3 zones and the only way to change from one to the other is to contact VAST administration You do not need to worry about changing frequencies or transponders or whatever.

You simply have to take your VAST decoder out of the box, connect it all up, align the dish to C1 or D3, get it registered and sit back and watch the pretty pictures. If you are watching Qld and move to WA you just contact VAST and get it changed. When you change locations you just align the dish to C1 or D3 again and the watch the pretty pictures. Eazy Peazy.

So to use different transponders for different areas you need to get your decoder reauthorised.

Now is that not the critical piece of information.

Bantam you may call it a put down – some would call it “not suffering fools lightly”.
This poor guy can’t hit the correct satellite and has asked for expert help.
You come on with uniformed waffle that confuses the issue - just to get your name in lights.
Give up before you put your foot any further in your mouth.

I pitty your children

I just had a look at the position of D1 – it is located at 160 E
You are possibly aligned to the wrong satellite.

If you want to watch what is on D1 you will need to find your old Aurora box and do a scan of D1.

VAST boxes are locked to scan only for C1/D3

I kept my old strong box for that very reason, so I can scan other satellites.
