Contact SatPlus in Vic and Qld for honest, no bulldust advice and supply.

www.satplus.com.au (copy & paste the link, I gave up waiting for the "insert link" box to open.)

I have dealt with them and highly recommend them.

Cheers

Neil

Second thatMine took about 45secs to lock in on tuesday in Perth

I have the $539 setup with recording ability.

They als give you a book with the settings for most places and in between the listed ones its just a minor adjustment.

Revise that price Now 499 plus 20 for a recording version.

Its the 78cm dish model and is an excellent setup

In dishes Size does matter bigger is better.

This dish is probably the best for tunig and size for storage.

Mine lives strapped to the front of the cargo barrier Fits just nice.

Dont carry them on the A frame of a van Some have been known to buckle.

The ones from Access antennas include an Aurora card and I registered mine and as far as I know thats all you do.

Some of the cheaper sets dont include the card which I think is worth $99.

If you use it you have to activate it for the areas you are in and on going to WA it gets changed to only get WIN and GWN plus ABC and SBS

You also have to register Imparja.

However if you dont tell them you are in WA you will still get 7 Central ,
Imparja and whatever else is available in the other states.

Only you get it earlier due to time zones

If you have another type of card you can get it all everywhere.

No dont ask.

Cheers
