Satellite Dish

Hi Sang,

Campersat is a division of videosat.

I was after the same info and they sent me a heap of info on the subject.
I had a toll free # for them but can't find now.

Good luck, PandJ

Ive seen a fair few of them bolted to the back of caravans - I assume they bolt them to the back of the caravan out of the breeze when cruising down the highway. The few ive seen look like your ordinary Austar Pay TV dishes. Never paid much attention though.

Cheers,

Glenn.

G'day Sang,
We have a Sat dish and system purchased from a fellow at Airlie Beach after having seen him at the Markets there for some years. His systems seemed the best for me as the price was right and easy to use was the main benefit. The price will vary from $800 to $9,000 odd depending on your choise..from outside assembly.. to a fitted self turning outfit. We went for the dish in a metal box supplied with directional finder and easy tune arrangement. We choose to carry the unit in the vehicle in a padded vinal bag. It's a 60cm dish which provides us with all chanells including Auststar using our paid TV card. The dish is not the expensive part...it's the system you install that hits your pocket. We love our sport and always turned into the weather & news...so the satellite TV suits us fine.
PS ours is a 12 volt TV system on a Kedron ATV meaning we have TV everywhere in Aussie.
Great tripping, Bleb.

We purchased our system from Global Sat. $550 (seems they are no longer in business) for free to air system with Aroura card, and have 85cm dish, some say 60/65cm is fine now with the C1 satellite, but here are some sites to check out thed first seems to have a good dish set up but is a bit pricy http://vansat.com.au/ info here http://aussattv.oranged.to/ and here http://www.austech.tv/ and lots here http://users.bigpond.net.au/goldway/sattvfaq/index.html
