With all the issues I’ve had in the past with dodgy TV reception, I took the plunge into a satellite unit. When Daniel goes to bed at around 7.30, TV reception is a primary consideration especially when the weather isn’t great and we’re stuck indoors. I like to see the broadcast news at least every other day, and terrestrial TV cant always guarantee reception.
The setup process is a little fiddly with satellite finding and tuning, but we would try to use terrestrial reception where possible. Knowing we will always get something whether satellite or terrestrial is good to know and more than an acceptable trade of for the setup time. We’ll get HSV 7, ABC 1, SBS 1 with ABC and SBS across 3 time zones.
The dish is quite large, but a hinged swings out dish mount on the rear bumper will make carriage and setup more convenient.
