I have purchased an old (10 years at a guess) but new(unused) satellite set up which includes a strong sat receiver SRT 4564x it has no card in it. I’m a virgin as far as
satellite tv goes my question is do I need to purchase a card to get free to air tv or is it possible without the outlay. I’m told I will have to get a vast receiver with a card to make it work. Is this my only option.
Many thanks in advance for all the advice.
Carl

Hi,
All your questions answered here
www.mysattv.com.au
And an excerpt from that site....
"Anyone wishing to access VAST will need to purchase a VAST approved satellite set-top box and a satellite dish of at least 65cm diameter. Access to this new satellite service is managed by a smart card which is supplied with the satellite set top box."
So I'd be going back to the joker that sold you the 'box' and asking for the 'card'.
Strong do make VAST box's....I believe!
