Hello All

   Hi David....I bought  a Satking,which is good for all of Australia except the absolute extreme tip of Cape York.It is permanently mounted up among my Solar  panels so that when I need it, I simply press the button on the remote and wait for it to find the  satellite!  Most of the time I use an aerial that clips to the side of the van,but the Satellite is there for times when that doesnt play the game! Hope this helps? Safe and happy travels to all.Cheers.

As someone who hasn't watched TV in, at least, five years I'm curious as to which channels you can receive on a portable satellite system?

I think we get all free to air channels with our Satplus system. nod.gif

 Everywhere you go, it either cracks you up or makes you cringe how horrible local TV ads are

We are also considering the SatKing Plus on our next van

 Only if you have the Central Bouquet.

Take Western & you'll get WA ads

 

Make sure you get an 80 - 85cm Dish Tops, you won't have a problem setting up.
