| What is the difference between Videosat and
Campersat? |
Videosat Pty Ltd
has been supplying Australian Free to Air Satellite TV to remote areas
of Australia as well as to poor reception viewers since the first
launch of Aussat in 1985. General Manager of Videosat, Wally Shand,
has been aware of the need for a suitable solution to the problem
of variable and unreliable TV and radio reception for Australia's
Wandering Travellers. In 2001 Videosat developed and introduced its
Campersat range of products to Australia's growing Recreational Vehicle
(RV) industry. In 2002 Campersat was awarded "Most Innovative
Product of the Year" by the Caravan and Camping Industry Association
(CCIA). The CCIA Industry awards are designed to encourage excellence
within the industry; an independent panel judges the entrants.

| Does the picture quality vary across the country?
|
The Australian Free to Air satellite broadcast is available in superb
digital quality right across Australia. Travellers should be aware
of reduced signal strength in the far north and south west of the
country under heavy rain or dense overcast conditions. Picture quality
will remain perfect until there is insufficient signal to operate
the receiver.
|
| Does the Campersat system replace my existing
aerial? |
Many viewers choose to keep their existing terrestrial aerial for
local broadcasts, however, once you've been spoilt with the quality
of the digital Satellite broadcasts you may rarely use your terrestrial
aerial.
|
| How much power does the Satellite receiver
draw? |
30 watts at 240 volts. Modern invertors are very efficient so power
consumption at 12 volts should be no more than 35 watts including
inverter losses.
See product information bulletins
for more details on power consumption.
