UEC DHR4901 VAST Decoder — Built-In 1.5TB Hard Drive

FREE FREIGHT (standard freight, Australia-wide)

Upgrading your old VAST box? This one makes it easy.

If your current VAST satellite box or VAST free to air decoder needs replaced, the UEC 4901 VAST decoder makes switching over ridiculously simple. No new dish, no new cabling, nothing to reconfigure — just unplug your old VAST box, plug this satellite decoder in, and register the included smartcard. That's it. You'll have free to air TV up and running again in minutes.

Why upgrade to the UEC 4901 VAST decoder

The big drawcard of this VAST box is the built-in 1.5TB hard drive — something most satellite decoders and free to air boxes don't offer. That means:

  • No more choosing between shows — this VAST decoder records up to 10 channels at once
  • No external hard drives or USB sticks needed to manage recordings — it's all built into the decoder box
  • Never miss your favourite free to air shows, even if you're out or asleep
  • 4K-ready picture quality for a crisp, clear viewing experience

Basically, this satellite TV box turns your setup into a proper home theatre system — minus the hassle of extra hardware.

A great VAST decoder for caravans too

Heading off around Australia? This VAST box runs on 240V at home or 12V on the road (12V cable optional), so it's just as happy as a caravan satellite decoder as it is in the lounge room. Pair this free to air box with a roof-mounted dish and you've got reliable satellite TV wherever you park up.

A couple of things worth knowing about the UEC DHR4901 decoder:

  • It's a bit bigger than some VAST boxes — 43cm wide, 24cm deep, 5cm high — so double check it'll fit your cabinet or cupboard
  • The remote doesn't need line-of-sight, so this satellite decoder works fine even tucked away out of sight
  • The USB ports on this VAST decoder are for software updates only — they won't play media files or connect to your home network, so don't plan on plugging in a USB drive for movies or photos

Quick specs

  • 1.5TB built-in hard drive
  • Record up to 10 channels simultaneously
  • 10 satellite + 4 terrestrial tuners
  • 4K-ready
  • 240V AC / 12V DC compatible
  • RF remote (no line-of-sight needed)

Backed by NAS Australia's support network, with free standard freight Australia-wide (express also available).

Always a time shifted viewer.

In some respects superior to my very elderly DVD/HDD PVR which it replaces but insufficient information about all the possibilities in the PVR function. Can I edit a recorded title? Can I divide or combine? Can I play back, pause, then continue playback while on a timed recording ? How long does timeshift work? Much more information would be most helpful. In the meantime it's very much trial and error.

UEC 4901 Vast Decoder

The vast decoder arrived promptly. Once we activated the card it worked straight away. Its fairly simple to use and the functions are similar to the old Humax it replaced.

Only choice of decoder with onboard hd

This is my second UEC4901. The first lasted just beyond the warranty period and stopped working. Apparently if you want a hard drive onboard this is your only choice (Satplus advice). The box does what it should but sometimes starts up with no picture so a reboot is needed. The onboard scheduler for programs is a nightmare and will not, for example, program a show to be continually recorded (like the news). You set it up and then the scheduler deletes it after a couple of weeks. Crap software with the latest firmware being three years old. If having an external hd doesn't worry you I'd avoid this box. But its unique apparently so here I am.

DESCRIPTION

UEC DHR4901 VAST Decoder — Built-In 1.5TB Hard Drive

FREE FREIGHT (standard freight, Australia-wide)

Upgrading your old VAST box? This one makes it easy.

If your current VAST satellite box or VAST free to air decoder needs replaced, the UEC 4901 VAST decoder makes switching over ridiculously simple. No new dish, no new cabling, nothing to reconfigure — just unplug your old VAST box, plug this satellite decoder in, and register the included smartcard. That's it. You'll have free to air TV up and running again in minutes.

Why upgrade to the UEC 4901 VAST decoder

The big drawcard of this VAST box is the built-in 1.5TB hard drive — something most satellite decoders and free to air boxes don't offer. That means:

  • No more choosing between shows — this VAST decoder records up to 10 channels at once
  • No external hard drives or USB sticks needed to manage recordings — it's all built into the decoder box
  • Never miss your favourite free to air shows, even if you're out or asleep
  • 4K-ready picture quality for a crisp, clear viewing experience

Basically, this satellite TV box turns your setup into a proper home theatre system — minus the hassle of extra hardware.

A great VAST decoder for caravans too

Heading off around Australia? This VAST box runs on 240V at home or 12V on the road (12V cable optional), so it's just as happy as a caravan satellite decoder as it is in the lounge room. Pair this free to air box with a roof-mounted dish and you've got reliable satellite TV wherever you park up.

A couple of things worth knowing about the UEC DHR4901 decoder:

  • It's a bit bigger than some VAST boxes — 43cm wide, 24cm deep, 5cm high — so double check it'll fit your cabinet or cupboard
  • The remote doesn't need line-of-sight, so this satellite decoder works fine even tucked away out of sight
  • The USB ports on this VAST decoder are for software updates only — they won't play media files or connect to your home network, so don't plan on plugging in a USB drive for movies or photos

Quick specs

  • 1.5TB built-in hard drive
  • Record up to 10 channels simultaneously
  • 10 satellite + 4 terrestrial tuners
  • 4K-ready

Backed by NAS Australia's support network, with free standard freight Australia-wide (express also available).
