There is currently only ONE Satellite Decoder Box that will receive the new VAST signal and that is the UEC. The STRONG decoder only accepts the Optus Aurora cards....however, STRONG informs me that they will have a new 12v box out by the end of the year.
In other words, if you currently use Satellite TV through a STRONG decoder, you WILL NOT be able to use the same box with the NEW VAST system.

NO, you cannot get VAST on your CURRENT Optus Aurora Box.
From the website.................
IMPORTANT - The unique smart card and set top box are matched at factory level. Smart cards cannot be swapped or used in multiple boxes.
