Christian TV 3ABN VAST Decoder - UEC DSD 5000

3ABN is now available via the VAST platform and requires the UEC DSD 5000 VAST decoder and smartcard to access this service.  The 5000 decoder includes a smartcard which can be activated via the Mysat TV website - www.mysattv.com.au

Your existing cables and connections to the TV don't need to change as the new decoder will take place of your old one.

Once activated you'll receive the ABC and SBS regional channels as well as 3ABN (and any other Christian TV channels that are moving to the VAST platform).

Please keep in mind that your dish will require re-alignment and this can be completed by your local installer or by purchasing our pre-tuned SatPlus 3240B satellite meter.  This meter will be setup by us prior to shipping and when connected to your satellite dish (1.8m lead included), it is simply a matter of rotating the dish until signal is indicated on the meter via a signal quality bar and audio tone.  Some adjustment of elevation may be necessary however we also include a bonus detailed alignment manual that will tell you elevation and directional information.  Adjusting the dish is a straightforward task and will save you hundreds of dollars by avoiding the need to call in a technician.  You can opt to add on the meter via the drop down option.  If you would like more information on the Satplus 3240b meter click HERE.

Also, unlike the older Optus D2 service, the VAST service does require a 10700 LNB (the device on the end of the dish) and for the small cost it is a worthwhile purchase.  Replacing the LNB is easy and only requires that you remove the old LNB with a screw driver and spanner and install the new one.  Typical install time is around 10 minutes.  You can opt for a new LNB via the drop down option.  If you would like more information on the LNB click HERE

We offer this decoder at a better than competitive price and free freight as well.

 Official information direct from 3ABN :

We have exciting news to tell you! After months of negotiations, John Malkiewycz, General Manager of 3ABN Australia, has signed a contract with Optus to put the 3ABN International TV network on the VAST system within Australia. As a result, 3ABN International is now available on VAST channel 603 for Australian viewers in rural and remote areas, as well as those in digital terrestrial TV black spots. In fact, anyone with a VAST certified satellite set-top box, even travellers, can view 3ABN International!

Those with a VAST system do not need to do anything special to receive 3ABN International. All you have to do is go to channel 603 on your VAST box and 3ABN will be there! A commercial network registration is not required.

VAST (Viewer Access Satellite Television) is an Australian Government free-to-air satellite service for households who cannot easily receive normal Australian television networks. Right now 3ABN is reaching into those homes! Currently, there are over 306,000 VAST households across Australia, growing at 500 to 800 homes each week – and now 3ABN International is alongside ABC and SBS, 24/7. Praise God! He has opened up this wonderful opportunity and we are excited to take hold of it!

We now have an additional monthly satellite bill to reach all these Australian homes with the Gospel on free-to-air TV. We believe that God has opened this door because there are people in those homes who will respond to the Gospel. Would you please prayerfully consider joining us to fund this exciting project? Thank you so much to those of you who already support 3ABN and its urgent work. Time is closing in on us and we need your help to reach as many as possible with the Gospel so Jesus can come.
