VANSAT Fully Automatic Motorised Satellite Dish

Australia's Leading Technological Auto Dish System

The Bluestar has been designed for Australia's rugged operating environment to go onto RV, Motorhome and caravans. Once you make the investment in our automatic satellite dish system you will never go back to your unreliable antenna setup. Once you press the power button the automatic satellite dish will lift and quickly locate the correct satellite for Foxtel, Austar and VAST satellite television.

Super Gain Dish

The Bluestar Fully Automatic Satellite System is engineered to ensure the maximum possible signal strength in all remote areas. The supplied 85cm Super Gain dish provides reception anywhere in Australia.

Our new model aluminium dish now incorporates rubber trim around the outside, a skeletal bracing system on the rear, and a highly accurate focal point. Together these new features make the dish powerful, strong, and reliable – year after year.

DUAL (Twin) LNB

Custom made for Vansat and ordered from the US, our LNB is tailored for Australian conditions and Australian satellite providers. The Local Oscillator Frequency is the accepted standard of 10700.

Twin Outlets give the user versatility for all situations they may encounter, whether this be for VAST, FTA or PayTV uses. Coupled with the Super Gain Dish the LNB works to provide excellent signal even in adverse conditions.

Stainless Fittings

The Bluestar product is assembled with stainless fittings and fixtures in all critical areas. This gives the unit superb corrosion and rust resistance. A matter very important for our Island Continent.

Steel Gearboxes

Our Gearboxes – The heart of the machine. Two quality gear boxes manufactured with stainless steel drive shafts, bronze billet gearing, sealed bearings and a solid cast aluminium housing. Incredibly strong, incredibly reliable.

Wind Stabilisers

New Model wind stabilisers fitted to the underside of the Bluestar dome makes movement in the wind virtually impossible. Each unit now incorporates four stabilisers giving predictable, stable reception in windy conditions.
