WHERE’S THAT
DARN SATELLITE?

THERE IS AN ART TO SETTING UP A
CARAVAN’S PORTABLE SATELLITE TV
DISH. HERE ARE SEVEN STEPS TO
NAILING IT EVERY TIME.
Years ago, we were camped on the north
coast of NSW. I was sitting under our
awning watching a couple in a small
motorhome set-up their rig.
He was fussing about with a portable satellite
dish, rather unsuccessfully as it turned out. No
matter what he did or how he positioned the
dish, he just couldn’t get a signal.
Finding and tuning into the satellite that
provides the free VAST TV service can
sometimes seem impossible.
But after giving the process some thought, I
reckon I’ve discovered the most common
mistakes owners make when setting up the
system and each mistake is easily avoided.
