Complete VAST Satellite TV System for Home
This VAST home satellite TV kit combines a UEC DSD5000 decoder, 75/80cm satellite dish and installation equipment for eligible household installations.
It provides a satellite alternative where adequate terrestrial television reception is unavailable. Check VAST eligibility for your address before purchasing; poor reception alone does not confirm eligibility.
Everything You Need in One Kit
Unlike a basic satellite dish kit, this package includes an approved UEC DSD5000 VAST decoder.
It also includes a premium 75/80 cm satellite dish, roof mount, LNB, cabling, wallplate and a SatKing SK-3200 digital satellite meter to help you align the dish with the correct satellite.
Once installed, registered and activated, the system allows eligible viewers to receive Australian free-to-air television channels without relying on a normal terrestrial TV antenna or internet connection.

Easier Satellite Dish Alignment
Correctly pointing a satellite dish is usually the most difficult part of a DIY satellite TV installation.
There are several satellites in the Australian sky, and a basic signal finder may respond even when the dish is pointing at the wrong one.
The included SatKing SK-3200 digital satellite meter is programmed for the VAST satellite. It displays signal strength and quality and helps confirm when the dish is aligned with the correct satellite.
We also provide easy-to-follow instructions showing the approximate direction and dish angle required for your location.

VAST Registration and Eligibility
VAST eligibility and channel availability depend on your location and circumstances. Check whether your household qualifies before ordering.
The included decoder’s smartcard must be registered and activated through the official MySatTV website.
Read our VAST smartcard registration and activation guide for an explanation of the process. Keep the smartcard supplied with the decoder paired with that decoder.
Designed for DIY Installation
This kit is suitable for a competent DIY installer with the necessary tools and safe roof access.
Our instructions explain how to assemble the dish, install the roof mount, connect the cables and use the supplied digital meter to locate the VAST satellite.
If you are not comfortable working at heights or installing equipment on a roof, we recommend using a qualified antenna or satellite installer.
