Compact, low power, 12V and 240V VAST decoder. Record two channels or watch one record another(USB memory stick required). Latest model DSD 5000. Now includes a 7 segment front display for those who prefer to navigate the channels by number. With the same compact chassis and a complete hardware rebuild inside the new DSD 5000 further enhances the already excellent 4921.
The DSD 5000 twin tuner PVR ready satellite decoder ticks every box when it comes to performance, physical size and includes features not seen before in an Australian VAST certified product.
Firstly, for those of you unsure what a VAST decoder is - VAST is the acronym for Viewer Access Satellite Television. 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.
Any traveller can access the VAST service by registering their included smartcard at https://www.mysattv.com.au/travellers.aspx . For those of you living in poor reception areas, please check your eligibility at http://myswitch.digitalready.gov.au/ then clicking on satellite summary.
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. The unit is also available with a 500GB harddrive. You can view this product here
The Altech DSD 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 DSD 5000 stand out as the leading VAST decoder. With integrated features that support upcoming software implementations such as HbbTV and MS PlayReady you can be assured of compatibility now and in the future.
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 4921RV 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 is an unusual shape and has no mounting holes to mount under a shelf or vertically inside a cupboard. For these reasons, we offer 2 mounting options:
Under shelf bracket: Custom made, powder coated, aluminium mounting shelf bracket to suit Altech UEC 4921/ 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 4921/5000 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 bracket plate over the 4 existing mounting holes and bolt your TV bracket head back to the TV.
