Satellite TV in Perth


We are looking at buying a Satellite TV kit when we travel through Perth next week. We know about itech world. Where else is good to go?

Access Antennas 
Address: 1/16 Sundercombe St, Osborne Park WA 6017
I got all our gear from these guys about 5 years ago. Good after sales service even three years after purchase.  Had a problem they sorted it at no cost.

Thanks Mike & Ellie. Have put this on my list. Personal recommendations are often better than ads.

Pricey

Another option is The Satellite TV Shop at Unit 8, 61 Albert Road, Bunbury. It is fairly easy to access and you can park down the road in front of a caravan yard. Check them on Google Maps.

I'm sure they are tied up with the Osborne Park outfit.

I got mine there and never had any issues.

got ours from them. Theyre a very busy outfit. Don't let the queue of other customers and staff rushing round (they do a lot of mail order sales) put you off asking all the questions till youre sure you know how to use it.
They supply a very home made DVD with the kit which was shot in their showroom. DVD production is not one of their strengths as there is so much backlight, from the large exterior window behind them, the presenter is mostly in the dark and hard to make out what hes doing and also the sound is not wonderful.

So make sure you ask and keep asking the same questions and maybe you assemble the demo kit yourself, rather than just watching them point out what to do. Of course you maybe a rocket scientist, in which case you wont have any problem with it LOL

Its not difficult or hard - but being shown how to assemble and point the dish in the direction of the satellite and understanding how to do it, will make your life so much easier. I ended up being shown by a fellow camper who took his time

I began a similar thread early on, sounding out the advantages of having a portable sat dish as opposed a fixed one. The fixed one apart from being very expensive, has the advantage of convenience, works unless you are parked behind a tree.
The portable system can be placed so that the tree posses no problem, but is subject to theft.
I am in the process of getting a 5th wheeler designed and hopefully made, and my thoughts have been playing with the idea of a system that's in-between.

The idea is getting a set of "3" tracks as pictured, installed at each end of the van, now one of those Sat providers makes a very sturdy frame, I would mount the track connector "on the left in the picture, not the ring type" on each leg of the tripod mounting the sat. dish. Then the dish can be mounted on either end of the roof (subject to reception), and is out of harms way (theft). It would be just plug in and move half a notch and the legs would be locked in place.

Now its just an idea, so subject to change, abandonment etc.
