yes free to air with vast

you will need a double LNB and a vast decoder as well as a foxtel decoder, that's if the racing is on foxtel, my son has this set up

 all you need is the decoder, you already have the rest, dish cable and fittings.

you will need to register it as a traveller, that is very important, do not register it in WA as all stations are not avaiable just yet, pretend (or lie) you are in another state, if you reg in Vic and when you are in WA you can watch the 2030 movie at 1730.

You need to re-register every 6 months, an easy online form to complete just your name and vast card number.

 yes you can as long as you can get a signal from local area.

sat is better if you are in the bush.

Yes, free to air is your normal tv, foxtel is for movies/sport etc
