If your standard TV reception is letting you down or you need reliable TV services whilst travelling the highways of Australia, then VAST may be the answer.

Viewer Access Satellite Television (VAST) is a government service giving you the full range of free to air digital TV channels in areas (rural, remote, or metro) where standard TV services aren't able to deliver clear and reliable service.

For one low fixed cost (no ongoing charges) the ATS VAST satellite option includes the VAST decoder box, dish, and special LNB cabling to one point in the home or commercial premises. ATS can upgrade to additional points or a larger LNB. Caravan and RV satellite installations are available.

ATS also offer Satellite TV from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, China, Philippines and many other countries.

Fair Pricing, On-time service and quality installation – It’s our promise to you and at the heart of what we do every week!
