Permalink  

The new satellite service VAST started accepting activations for WA services under 2 conditions.
1) you have an existing aurora card registered with Optus
2) your complete the registration online through by entering you location and clicking the 'satellite eligibility tab'.

The new VAST service offers WA channels WIN, GWN, Ten West as well as ABC1, ABC2, ABC3, ABC New, SBS1 HD and SBS2. At the moment only the SD commercial channels are available. The full commercial station bouquets including one HD eleven, 7mate 7two, GEM & GO will not be available until later in the year.

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.

Mike,

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.
