+1 for VanSat. They are in Mackay. QLD. At least you get a complete set of instructions on how to set the thing up. And believe me, the first time you do it, you need all the help you can get.
I upgraded my STB last year to dual voltage 12V/240V (actually they replaced the STB with a new later model. New one is actually 12V and uses a 240V power supply to convert to 12V).
Last year on my way to
Brisbane with the van, the strap came loose on my widescreen computer monitor and the corner of the STB was touching on the glass screen. When I turned it on had crows feet all over the screen. Cost of replacement part was more than what it was worth to buy a new one. :-( Anyway, bought a new TV Set with inbuilt DVD and the lot runs on 12V just like the satellite STB. Now I have complete sat TV running on 12V.
Word of warning .... the cheapies are out there. Just make sure they have a valid card for the STB.
