MINIMAX SAT TV

Do you have this unit or are you thinking of buying it?

A lot of people I have seen on the road have problems getting a signal with sat tv, I have lost count of the times I have setup other campers sat tv.

I suggest you have a look here http://www.satplus.com.au/ I did not get my unit here but they do a good job of helping customers.

I use one of these for setup, all done in about 3-4 mins

Goto eBay for one of the above units $130

Brilliant suggestion wombat,

I use the SF-500 which will allow for DVB-S2 signals (HD Foxtel), but it is a pian as it needs a power source (either the decoder or 240v or you can make up a battery pack, which is hardly handy)

Other units that seem popular are the WS-6906, but a lot of people find these units very hard to read with such a small screen

The unit you have suggested looks great.
