This MODSHOP portable satellite system is designed to enable the user to access 'free to view' television anywhere in Australia.  Many claims are made by TV antenna manufacturers that their antennas will work anywhere in Australia.  This is simply not true.

Any antenna regardless of design, depends on land based transmitters to broadcast sufficient signal to the antenna in order to view a satisfactory picture on the TV or monitor.  Most caravan antennas include a booster to amplify weak signals.  However, most inland and remote areas of Australia do not have transmitter coverage so even with that amplifier, well, there's nothing to amplify!

Welcome to the world of satellite TV.  The remote area broadcast service now known as Aurora serves communities within Australia that are out of the range of TV transmitters.  This service is also available to travellers.  The advantage of satellite TV is that the broadcast is in digital format (perfect reception) and is available anywhere in Australia with the right equipment.  As long as the dish can be pointed to the sky and is clear of obstructions then reception is guaranteed.

The channels available via satellite are ABC and SBS in all time zones, Imparja (mix of the Nine and Ten networks) and Seven Central (channel Seven) GWN (Seven) and Win TV (Nine and Ten) can be switched on in WA.  There is also a range of radio channels that can be listened to through your TV.  These are also in digital format and the clarity is superb.  When we send out the TravelSat kits, we activate ABC and SBS for you.  You then set up your kit with the comprehensive instructions and fax or email Imparja and Seven Central.  These channels will be activated within 48 hrs.  You can then pack up your kit and take it wherever you please.  It really is simple.  The channels will stay on for around 12 months after which time, if you are still travelling, you can simply re activate.  There are no charges for activating the card and this process can be completed infinitely.

Products supplied in the kit are displayed below, pictures are for illustration only.   

The LNB at the end of the dish and the support arm can be removed.  This allows the dish to be easily transported on a mattress or underneath the bed.  The tripod folds down to around 110cm x 10cm.  The decoder is a 240VAC unit and will require a small inverter to operate from 12VDC (or generator).  Power consumption is quite low though at 30 watts so battery drain won't be a problem.  The decoder is around 30cm x 25cm deep so it is quite compact.

The complete kit comprises of a 65cm satellite dish with arm, 11300 LNB, Tripod, Satellite Finder, Cables, Wallplates, Receiver, Smartcard and Instructions.  Below is a description of the components.  PICTURES BELOW ARE FOR ILLUSTRATION ONLY.

 SATELLITE RECEIVER

2006 DIGITAL SATELLITE RECEIVER
This unit is known as a satellite receiver.  The receiver we use in a 2007 Digital settop box that can take a smart card if required, it also has the added benifits of many encription systems. 
The unit comes complete with remote control batteries, manual, 12month warranty and the channels are changed through this unit.

 SATELLITE FINDER
