There is only UEC and Satking available for use with VAST in Australia. Both the units have a number of restrictions and in my opinion the Satking is clearly the better unit with more features. This model was discontinued and replaced by the newer and better model with more features around 5 years ago. You can reach out to the Australian government in relation to why they only have two boxes on the market. I am guessing your box died, hopefully you got more than 7 years from your unit.

@@AccessantennasAustralia We also have an "Altech" VAST receiver in the house and they're both completely useless for their intended purpose. Both piss poor quality. Records whatevs at random and only occasionally what you want them to record. Nothing to do with these two but with VAST AT 35,000 kms up, if there is a rain cloud or even a bird (for real) sitting anywhere on the dish, no signal. We now have Starlink (satellites at 550 kms up), which has a much stronger signal (and would probably shake off any birds by itself), and it needs a proper thunderstorm to momentarily drop the signal. People, get a good internet connection of some kind, Fetch TV and ditch VAST entirely. We're in the process of doing exactly that.

@@MatteHatt The Australian government controls VAST so unfortunately everyone is victim to the Australian governments choices regarding TV for remote areas. You can reach out to your local politician and ask them to do something as there is a monopoly currently.

This issue has nothing to do with VAST (useless as it is too when there's a cloud out) it's plainly piss poor product design in both cases. Utter rubbish 🤮. In the words of Roy & HG: "ill conceived, hastily cobbled together joke". Since we now have Starlink, we'll be getting Fetch TV instead and use IP Streaming to record programs.

Yes it will.

30m

And your device will only go so far. Useless. You travel any outback place you will have no signal. In Australia is so poor pathetic shocking

I drove from Perth to Kalbarri and had signal the whole way literally with Celfi and streamed spotify music the whole way. Without celfi you get coverage about half the area. Also I was free camping at Cliff Heads, south of Dongara on the beach. There was no signal at all. As soon as I turned the vehicle on with Celfi I had signal.

Have u even drove across any where in the outback of Australia u obviously are with the money making bull company u thief

@@bradcollins5078 Brad Cel-fi offer a money back satisfaction guarantee and have done for a number of years. Check this guys review of the unit out which is independent of our review kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYesiH-nhLqoaaM&ab_channel=SeekAdventure

So phone companies should spend millions installing cells ALL over the country just in case you break down Brad....yeah....great idea.....get on and organise that mate, ring your local member....

They have a unit for each provider. Each unit is specific

Most people just use Telstra in the bush

@@halmcdonald3533 Mean while in America..

Are you sure your TV it set to the AV channel. Try the HDMI cable and HDMI input otherwise. Biggest mistake is the TV is not set properly on the correct channel. TV needs to be set on AV channel not the ATV which would be analogue TV.

Not legal though

I used a cradle and external areal many years ago when you could place your phone in the cradle. I don't know of any cradles for a smart phone. I have seen the areal plug on a Samsung Galaxy s5 and older versions. After that phone, they were built as sealed units with no access to the areal. This is the only option so far that I know of.

Absolutely having a good antenna is very important. The cradle is not very good for most customers as they do not want to have their phone in the cradle the whole time when using for convenience. The cradle only works via induction and you lose up to 50% of the signal so if the signal is weak this is not an option either. Cradle can be sufficient depending on the application and once again if you do not mind having it in the cradle to make and receive calls. We are a major distributor of the samsung and iphone cradles but generally speaking they are not always ideal. Give us a call on 08 9446 4433 to discuss your options if you are in the market or visit the website www.accessantennas.com.au

The celfi and antenna will give coverage in areas that the antenna and cradle will not hence why they are so popular

In Namibia, Africa

TV through the satellite dish in Australia

+aussietvone yes it will. It is plug and play as long as the dish is still aligned. Any dish in the last 5 years should be LO:10.7Ghx so yes plug and play

***** Yeah I worked it out and it works fine.
