Here are 10 of the best reasons to consider using a VAST satellite dish:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. **Coverage Across Remote Areas**: Australia is vast with many remote and rural areas. VAST ensures that even those living in the most isolated parts of the country can access quality television services.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2. **Consistent Reception**: Unlike terrestrial TV services, which can be impacted by geographical obstructions, VAST offers consistent and clear reception almost everywhere in Australia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3. **Access to All Major Channels**: VAST provides access to a range of Australia's major TV channels, ensuring viewers can watch popular national programs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4. **Resilience to Weather**: While some satellite services can be affected by severe weather, VAST is designed to be robust and usually provides consistent service even in challenging weather conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5. **No Need for Multiple Antennas**: In some regions, terrestrial TV reception may require multiple antennas to pick up different channels. With VAST, a single satellite dish suffices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6. **Equal Access for All Australians**: VAST is an initiative by the Australian government to ensure that all residents, irrespective of their location, have equal access to TV services.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e7. **Complementary to Internet Streaming**: In areas with limited or no broadband, relying solely on internet streaming might not be viable. VAST ensures that residents in such areas can still access TV services.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8. **Easy Setup**: While the initial installation requires accurate alignment of the dish, once set up, VAST is easy to use and requires minimal maintenance.  Our concise instructions and phone support if required, will have you up and running in a very short time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e9. **Free-to-Air Channels**: Most of the channels available on VAST are free-to-air, which means no ongoing subscription costs for the majority of content.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e10. **Access to Local News**: VAST also provides regional variations of channels, ensuring that viewers in different parts of the country can access local news and updates relevant to their area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those living in areas with poor terrestrial TV reception or in remote parts of Australia, VAST is a vital service that ensures consistent access to television content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Dish design may vary from picture\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn order to access the programs below, you need to ensure that you are eligible for VAST.  To check for eligibility, complete the following steps:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVisit \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/myswitch.digitalready.gov.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eMySwitch\u003c\/a\u003e and type your address into the search bar then click GET INFO.  If you can't find your address, enter your suburb then drag the little red teardrop marker close to your location then let go.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck your Satellite Eligibility (VAST) by clicking on the link down the left side of the MySwitch page. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf it states you are entitled to receive VAST then all is fine and you can go ahead and purchase this system.  If the results are that the broadcasters believe that you are in an adequate signal area, you can still go ahead and apply for VAST by filling out the application form.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen it asks for your smartcard number, just enter the number 42000000000 (9 zeros) and submit the form.  VAST will then get back to you and let you know whether you are eligible or not.  If yes, then you can go ahead and purchase this system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that travellers should use the travellers link on the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mysattv.com.au\/travellers.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eMySatTV\u003c\/a\u003e website.  The rules for eligibility do not apply to travellers as they can access the VAST service while on the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur systems are professionally packed and shipped with transit insurance for peace of mind.  We use Australia Post for Australia wide delivery to ANY address.  We offer a full 12 month warranty on all of our products.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eVAST BOX DSD5000 by UEC\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltech UEC DSD 5000 VAST Decoder\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Altech DSD5000 is a dedicated TV receiver designed specifically for Australians, especially those in remote or hard-to-reach areas where traditional terrestrial TV signals might be weak or inconsistent.

variability of its terrestrial TV reception. Here are 10 of the best reasons to consider using a VAST satellite dish:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. **Coverage Across Remote Areas**: Australia is vast with many remote and rural areas. VAST ensures that even those living in the most isolated parts of the country can access quality television services.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2. **Consistent Reception**: Unlike terrestrial TV services, which can be impacted by geographical obstructions, VAST offers consistent and clear reception almost everywhere in Australia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3. **Access to All Major Channels**: VAST provides access to a range of Australia's major TV channels, ensuring viewers can watch popular national programs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4. **Resilience to Weather**: While some satellite services can be affected by severe weather, VAST is designed to be robust and usually provides consistent service even in challenging weather conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5. **No Need for Multiple Antennas**: In some regions, terrestrial TV reception may require multiple antennas to pick up different channels. With VAST, a single satellite dish suffices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6. **Equal Access for All Australians**: VAST is an initiative by the Australian government to ensure that all residents, irrespective of their location, have equal access to TV services.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e7. **Complementary to Internet Streaming**: In areas with limited or no broadband, relying solely on internet streaming might not be viable. VAST ensures that residents in such areas can still access TV services.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8. **Easy Setup**: While the initial installation requires accurate alignment of the dish, once set up, VAST is easy to use and requires minimal maintenance.  Our concise instructions and phone support if required, will have you up and running in a very short time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e9. **Free-to-Air Channels**: Most of the channels available on VAST are free-to-air, which means no ongoing subscription costs for the majority of content.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e10. **Access to Local News**: VAST also provides regional variations of channels, ensuring that viewers in different parts of the country can access local news and updates relevant to their area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those living in areas with poor terrestrial TV reception or in remote parts of Australia, VAST is a vital service that ensures consistent access to television content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Dish design may vary from picture\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn order to access the programs below, you need to ensure that you are eligible for VAST.  To check for eligibility, complete the following steps:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVisit \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/myswitch.digitalready.gov.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eMySwitch\u003c\/a\u003e and type your address into the search bar then click GET INFO.  If you can't find your address, enter your suburb then drag the little red teardrop marker close to your location then let go.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck your Satellite Eligibility (VAST) by clicking on the link down the left side of the MySwitch page. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf it states you are entitled to receive VAST then all is fine and you can go ahead and purchase this system.  If the results are that the broadcasters believe that you are in an adequate signal area, you can still go ahead and apply for VAST by filling out the application form.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen it asks for your smartcard number, just enter the number 42000000000 (9 zeros) and submit the form.  VAST will then get back to you and let you know whether you are eligible or not.  If yes, then you can go ahead and purchase this system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that travellers should use the travellers link on the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mysattv.com.au\/travellers.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eMySatTV\u003c\/a\u003e website.  The rules for eligibility do not apply to travellers as they can access the VAST service while on the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur systems are professionally packed and shipped with transit insurance for peace of mind.  We use Australia Post for Australia wide delivery to ANY address.  We offer a full 12 month warranty on all of our products.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eVAST BOX DSD5000 by UEC\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltech UEC DSD 5000 VAST Decoder\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Altech DSD5000 is a dedicated TV receiver designed specifically for Australians, especially those in remote or hard-to-reach areas where traditional terrestrial TV signals might be weak or inconsistent.
