Great product, very easy to set up and use. Highly recommend !!!!
I have the FTA setup and it performs exactly as described on the website. It is easy to set up and finding the satellite is a breeze.I have seen others with other systems trying to find the satellite and having great difficulty - it generally takes less than 5 minutes with this product.Highly recommended.
I have no connection with this company or its employees.
So easy to set up great product I definitely recommend AA++
Have not set it up yet, but items as described and prompt delivery, overall looks like a very good investment, thanks satplus 👌
The MiniMax Portable Satellite System was delivered promptly after initial discussions with Customer Service. I was able to set the system up with a minimum of fuss or effort and within a couple of minutes, had a 96% signal quality. The supplied instructions were easy to follow. Great service.
Is minimax portable caravan satellite dish system all 12v or only 240 Will I need a Inverter? What would be the power consumption for 2hour viewing
Hello,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you... I missed this message. Yes it is 12V so no inverter required. The VAST box only uses around 0.5A per hour so after 2 hours use, you've only used around 1 amp from your battery. Most modern TV's use around 2 amps per hour as well so total draw would be 5 amps.
Regards
John
How do I upgrade this to include the twin cable fir Foxtel iq4 use?
Hi Steve,
Easiest way is to add the portable Pay TV kit to cart where you can upgrade to twin cables for Foxtel IQ here: https://www.satplus.com.au/collections/minimax-portable-caravan-satellite-dish/products/minimax-mobile-pay-tv-caravan-satellite-dish-system?variant=39858154832030
And then separately add on a VAST decoder here: https://www.satplus.com.au/products/altech-4921-rv-vast-certified-decoder-home-or-caravan-use?variant=31261739253895
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Cheers,
John

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. 👍👍
Satellite Dish LNB Holder Suitable For Most KU Band Satellite Dishes
Arrived ina few days from ordering, put the batteries in and away we went. The grandies could again watch their favourite programs.
I brought my Promax unit secondhand from someone who replaced the unit because it did not work. While replacing he found a corroded lead that was causing the problem. Having no mounting plate and doing my due diligence on what was available, Dr Google told me of this better option. Much larger than original, square meter coverage much better for long term use .It fitted very well into a space on the roof of our motorhome and the Promax unit fitted the stud pattern no problems. Thank you Satplus I am very happy with the plate.
An excellent product delivered promptly. Solved my problem of having 2 untidy cables running from the rear of my caravan to the front. Now there is 1 cable which is easy to put away.

Want to watch free to air TV anywhere in Australia via satellite? With Australia's best satellite kit you can ! Our custom made satellite kit is the easiest to use.
This is a complete kit comprising of dish, dish bag, professional sat meter, 10m coax cable, Eziplate thru wall plate, 1m internal coax cable, Altech 4921 VAST decoder, HDMI cable, 12V lead, Infra red sensor, cable joiners and instructions manual. Nothing else required. Complete system for free to air channels around Australia.
The MiniMax dish features an 80cm dish reflector that will easily provide Australia wide reception. The dish is constructed from mild steel and then zinc coated and painted. Overall weight is only 4.75KG (6 KG including carry bag). When folded the dish measures 88cm x 80cm and sits 20cm high.
The LNB arm is simply folded out from the dish and hits a stop. This sets the focal distance and never needs to be adjusted.
A high performance single LNB is fitted to the dish and this can be changed to a twin output should you require this (only for Foxtel users NOT VAST). We also fit a 2m coaxial cable to the LNB and route this to the back of the dish for easy connection to the satellite meter.
The big advantage of this dish type over tripod style systems is reduced set up time, reduced weight as there is no need for a heavy steel tripod and only one package instead of two.
The Altech DSD 5000 twin tuner PVR ready satellite decoder is a welcome addition to the Altech range as it ticks every box when it comes to performance, physical size and 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 C1/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 .
The 5000 RV is perfectly suited to mobile caravan use due to its features, operating voltage, compact size and infra red receiver port. Both 12V and 240V leads are supplied so this model can run from either.. A well laid out, easy to navigate menu and program guide along with its seamless recording ability makes the 5000RV stand out as the leading VAST decoder.
Features
SATPLUS 3240B DIGITAL SATELLITE METER
Unlike the basic satellite finders offered in cheaper systems, our professional digital satellite meter makes aligning the dish a breeze. The satellite meters main purpose is to indicate not only when the satellite has been found but also to display how much signal quality is being received. Signal quality is the most crucial measurement of all and the rule is quite simple: If the meter is showing adequate signal quality (ie 60%) then you can be confident that when you disconnect the meter and connect the dish directly to the satellite decoder box inside then van, you KNOW that everything is going to work without question. We believe the satellite meter to be perhaps the most important part of the system and a digital meter is essential for quick alignment. The 3240b meter is pre-programmed for the Optus 10/D3 satellite and will only respond to this satellite so you hit the right one every time and ignore all of the other satellites. Our 3240b handheld digital satellite meter is rechargeable and super sensitive too. As you pan the dish from one side across North at the correct elevation, the meter will beep and will display SIGNAL QUALITY as a percentage measurement and will also beep to alert you. Super easy to operate too, simply switch on and the unit will start up showing the signal quality screen - no complicated menus to navigate. Then, when fine tuned for maximum signal, simply switch it back off. With a full charge, you can expect around 4 hours of power. Comes complete with a power pack recharger, basic compass and instructions.
12V LEAD & HDMI LEAD
We also include in this premium package a 12V cigarette lead to power your Altech decoder from a 12V cigarette socket.
EZIPLATE WEATHERPROOF WALL FITTING
You'll need a way to connect that external coaxial cable in through your van wall. You may already have something similar but unless it is a direct connection with no joins or splitter in between then it will not work. Our EziPlate can adjust to wall thickness up to 30 mm and is a direct, no loss connection from outside to in. Please note that WineGard external wallplates will NOT work with satellite.
CABLES & JOINERS
Supplied as standard, RG6 quad shield cable @ 10 metre length. This is to connect from your satellite dish to the caravan wallplate. Our cable is professional grade as used by pay TV installers. Each end is fitted with weatherproof compression fittings by us. As we also fit our dishes with a short coaxial cable used to connect the meter, we include cable joiners for when the meter has been removed.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Everything makes sense when concise instructions are included. Our manual will assist you with directions, elevation angles as well as decoder screenshots and more.
The Altech 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 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 5000 PVR and PVR ready models only. Will not suit other VAST decoders. ONLY SUPPLIED IN RAW ALUMINIUM.
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 5000 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 4921 bracket plate over the 4 existing mounting holes and bolt your TV bracket head back to the TV. ONLY SUPPLIED IN RAW ALUMINIUM.
