Let's start with the dish.  Our new NovaSat dish measures 75cm x 85cm diameter.  It is elliptical in shape.  The dish reflector is zinc coated to minimise corrosion and is then painted in a durable white polymer paint.  This size dish will give you Australia wide reception of free to air VAST services in all of Australia.  The dish is mounted on a stainless steel frame that is made in Australia.  Having this design means that you don't have to carry a tripod around so it is more compact.  Although stainless steel is an expensive material to use, it is best suited to satellite dishes as many dishes will be used in coastal regions where salty air creates major corrosion issues.  The dish is easily collapsed down for packing away and is simple to set up.  Elevation is adjusted simply by loosening the elevation knob at the rear of the frame. Furthermore, the LNB support arm protruding from the front of the dish is removable without the need for tools.

Here you can see how the dish packs away in its padded bag.  All cables and accessories fit inside the bag keeping everything neat and tidy while not in use.

Our new SF3239 PosiID digital satellite meter is the most advanced travellers meter we've ever seen.  This meter will only respond with a signal quality reading when you align to the correct satellite.  No more guess work, the meter never lies.  Simply set your dish to the correct elevation and pan the sky in the general direction until the meter alerts you with a beep that you are on the right sat.  It will then display a signal quality bar with a percentage reading. Fine tune your dish for maximum quality and you're done.  The ultimate satellite finder.  Note that the satellite finder is only used while aligning the dish - it is removed after alignment.  Generally, power to the meter is supplied via power from the VAST decoder sent via the coaxial cable.  However, another great feature of the SF3239 is that it comes complete with battery pack (batteries not included) so you can be free of cables while aligning your dish.

Our premium coaxial cable kit comprises of 15m, 6m and 1.5m leads.  The 15m cable is used if there are nearby obstructions in the way.  The 6m cable is the common cable used where the dish is nearby.  The 1.5m cable is used to connect between the internal EziPlate and the VAST satellite decoder.

Supplied as standard, the VAST certified DSD4121 free to air satellite decoder.  This decoder (once registered - www.mysattv.com.au ) will give you free access to ABC1, ABC2, ABC NEWS24, SBS1, SBS2, SEVEN CENTRAL, IMPARJA (NINE), TEN CENTRAL, 7TWO, 7MATE, 9GO, 9GEM, 10ELEVEN, ONE HD and regional news feeds.  The unit is 240V only and can be powered up via a small sine wave inverter.  The unit only uses around 18 watts while running and 1 watt on standby.  We can supply a 180 watt pure sine wave if required.

Our custom EziPlate is installed by drilling a small 13mm hole through the van wall behind where you plan to place the satellite decoder.  Take off the cap, nut, washers and push through from the inside.  Apply a small amount of silicon around the hole then fit the rubber washer, stainless washer, stainless nut and weatherproof boot (now supplied in black).  The Eziplate has a threaded F type socket on each end and will fit all caravan walls up to 35mm thick.

Included is a basic acrylic map compass.  The compass is used to find the 'general' direction to the satellite.  When used in conjunction with our charts, you'll know the approxiamte direction.  then, it's just a matter of panning the sky until your SF3239 digital satellite meter alerts you to signal found.

Lastly, we include pegs to lock down your dish in windy conditions as well as spare cable joiners (in place of digital finder when not in use) and a comprehensive colour manual to guide you through setting up the system.
