Will l be able to use my existing card from my 4121 into your 4921 and if so do l have to do anything for it to work? Reards, Gary
Hi there, when you purchase a new VAST decoder, the new smartcard will be included. Each card is paired to the box at manufacturing stage and can only be used with that box. The new card can be registered at the Mysattv website or by calling 1300 993 376.
Do yu need a smart tv to receive Vast?
Hi Matt,
No, as long as the TV has an HDMI or AV input it just acts as a monitor for the VAST box.
Regards,
Philip
What is the optional ir sensor used for?
The IR sensor allows the decoder to be hidden away. You are still able to operate the remote control by sticking the sensor where it can be seen by the remote.
Regards,
Philip.
Two newbie questions... (1) will this work using the dish, etc., installed by Foxtel a number of years ago? (I no longer have Foxtel). (2) it says on your rear connection info LAN "(future support)" - in the Q&A it appears that some LAN functionality already exists, such as streaming catch up TV. Is any other LAN functionality provided? Remote programming/control, etc.?
Hi David,
Yes, a VAST box works fine on a Foxtel dish. Unfortunately, Altech have removed the catch up via LAN feature on the new boxes. They have said that because most people have smart TVs these days it was a rarely used feature.
Philip
Do they come with smart card
Hi there,
Yes the decoder comes with a smartcard, remote control and power supply.
Cheers
John
Are Sky Racing Channels available in this box?
Hi,
VAST does not carry SKY Racing, Only Foxtel does.
Regards,
Philip
I have dsr4639 which no longer works in my caravan is your Dsr compatible cheers
Hi there,
The DSR4639 was discontinued a few years ago and now replaced by the DSD4921 with built in 500GB . Another option is the 4901 with built in 1.5TB HDD. Either will do the same job as the 4639.
Cheers
John
Can this device be made WiFi capable?
Hi there,
It can stream catch up TV when connected to a router/modem via an ethernet cable. We have tried ethernet to wireless adapters which seem to work ok. Other option is to look at the Satking 980 as it does do wireless via a wireless dongle.
Cheers
John

After having whirly birds on the roof i will never go back after installing the solar king. Awesome engineering. Just had a ducted aircon installed and the guys loved working in the roof space compared to other roofs in the area it was so much cooler. Love the temperature sensor funtion. Installed myself in about 30mins on a tilled roof and bout some silicone to seal it off.
It performs as stated
Works perfectly & very fast postage to regional QLD. Many thanks.
Great product. Easy to install. Has made a huge difference to the house.
I have wanted to replace my whirlybird for a long time with something that works. Finally a product that works and is very well built. No plastic assembly, all metal. Perfect for our Australian climate and if the sun don't shine, the 240volt power pack is ready to rock. Thanks to the team at SATPLUS. 👍👍

The UEC DSD5000 VAST Satellite Decoder is the latest VAST model with features that are sure to impress.
This decoder is a PVR ready unit (no hard drive included). The PVR ready unit features an external USB slot and you can connect most external USB drives such as a USB stick or drive. If you'd prefer to purchase a VAST box with built in 1.5TB hard drive then view the DSD 4901 unit.

Compact, low power, 12V and 240V VAST decoder. Now includes a 7 segment front display for those who prefer to navigate the channels by number.
If you require the 12V cable and Infra red sensor please click HERE.
The VAST service is broadcast on the Optus 10/D3 satellites and can be accessed by people living in poor TV reception areas as well as travellers on the road with a mobile satellite system in a caravan, camper or motorhome. Connect this decoder to your satellite dish and access all of the free to air digital channels such as ABC, SBS, Seven Central (Seven Network), Imparja (Nine Network), Ten Central (Ten Network) as well as ABC NEWS, SBS2, Mate, Go, Gem, One, Eleven etc etc. A host of radio channels are also broadcast such as BBC World News, Triple J, Double J etc.

The Altech 5000 VAST satellite decoder is perfectly suited to mobile caravan use due to its features, operating voltage, compact size and infra red receiver port but is also ideal for home use as it includes a 240V power transformer. A well laid out, easy to navigate menu and program guide along with its seamless recording ability makes the DSD5000 stand out as the leading VAST decoder.
The DSD 5000 software has been designed with ease of operation and speed. When first started, you are presented with a wizard that guides you through time zone, screen resolution, hard drive setup and dish settings. After this has been completed, the DSD 5000 will scan in all of the satellite channels and store them in memory. At this point you'll need to register your smartcard which is already inserted into the side of the unit. Simply remove it and record the number for convenience.
The menu and EPG have been further enhanced so as to make navigation simple and intuitive. See screenshot below:
Rear View Connections.
The DSD 5000 VAST decoder has no mounting holes to mount under a shelf or vertically inside a cupboard. For these reasons, we offer 2 mounting options:
PLEASE NOTE THE PHOTOGRAPHS SHOW THE BRACKETS IN POWDER-COATED BLACK. WE NOW ONLY OFFER THESE IN RAW ALUMINIUM.
Under shelf bracket: Custom made, aluminium mounting shelf bracket to suit Altech UEC 5000 PVR ready & PVR satellite decoders. Two piece design locks the decoder in place whether mounted horizontally, vertically or even upside down. Made specifically for the Altech 4921 PVR and PVR ready models only. Will not suit other VAST decoders.
Easy to install and gives a professional look to complete your installation.
Integrated TV bracket:
Already mount your TV on a TV wall bracket? Not sure if you have space to mount your new Altech VAST box? Want to keep the installation clean and tidy from messy cabling? You take the TV off the TV support bracket while travelling anyway so why not have the Altech VAST box mounted permanently on the back of the TV? What a great integrated solution.
Our SatPlus integrated TV bracket is the perfect solution that:
Installation is easy. Simply remove the head of your exisiting TV bracket from the back of your TV, place the SatPlus DSD 5000 bracket plate over the 4 existing mounting holes and bolt your TV bracket head back to the TV.
