"Peter lives in Tallebudgera Valley where he can't get normal TV reception through an antenna so he uses VAST satellite TV. Peter wanted to get another VAST installation on his other cabin and possibly a Foxtel dish as well. Peter didn't know but we can actually use the same installation for both if we know before hand; which we did. So, Peters cabin users now get to enjoy pixelation free TV even though he lives in a hilly, tree laden location as all we need now is a line of sight up into space."

5 Things that are a little different when you're using a VAST satellite instead of an antenna

  1. It's restrictedThe government supplies this service free of charge but only to homes that qualify for it. I.E "You can't get normal channels reliably with a normal TV antenna setup". Before you can use the VAST service in Tallebudgera you have to apply online for it. If you don't get accepted, you'll only get access to ABC and SBS channels.
  2. It's a national broadcast. Because VAST is a national broadcast you'll received non-localised advertisements and gain access to multiple versions of each channel. Example, you'll get like 5+ ABCs each from a different part of Australia!
  3. Registration can take a while. As mentioned in point no.1 after you register it can take up to 15 business days to get approval. I find though it rarely takes more than a week and usually it occurs within 48hours. In the meantime, though you'll have access to all the ABC and SBS channels. All the others like channel 7, 9 and 10 networks will be disabled in the meantime.
  4. The channel numbers. With heaps more TV channels than normal, you'll find it the channel numbering can be different once you get past the normal 1,2,3,7,9 and 10's. You'll probably be referring to the program guide in the beginning for a while until you remember your favourite local channel numbers.
  5. Some channels only run for an hour or so. If you're looking for your local news channels on VAST in Tallebudgera Gold Coast you'll find it on Win news from memory but it will only broadcast for an hour a day just to show the news.

A real-life example from today, 11th March 2019 follows:

"Tilly was having trouble with her Foxtel signal cutting in and out during mild weather and wind so she called us in to have a look. What we found was that the Foxtel Dish needed relocating as it was now pointing into a thick patch of palm trees. During the removal of her dish we noticed it was very old and before we went too far, we asked Tilly if she'd be up from replacing it to ensure a better long-term result, which she did. After we relocated installed her Foxtel Dish on her Tallebudgera home her signal was much stronger and didn't play up again. Tilly ended up referring us to her mother, also in Tallebudgera to take a look at her Christian TV Satellite installation as it too was playing up in mild weather."
