Satking ProMax Auto Motorized Satellite Dish + Vast TV DVBS2-980CA Digital Satellite Receiver
Satking Promax Fully Automatic Motorised Satellite TV System
The SatKing Promax satellite dish is the most advanced system on the market, utilizing the latest in flat panel antenna design. This motorised satellite system suits Foxtel and VAST satellite TV. The unit has dual LNB outputs to suit Foxtel IQ, Austar, MyStar & VAST satellite TV set top boxes and PVR’s
Promax Automatic Satellite Dish with GPS. Updated 2016 model sees futher improvements to coverage with improved firmware. Tested in weak signal areas. Australia wide coverage (excluding the tip of Cape York) for all VAST and Foxtel channels. The ProMax team has done extensive field testing across the Nullabor Plain and in the Kimberley’s, Western QLD, the Gulf of Carpentaria and Central Australia. We have increased the antennas gain to cover these low signal area’s and provide all channels from Optus C1 and D3 across Australia. Combine the increased signal gain with the compact size and why would you want one of the old style large oval dishes.
Coverage Map Explained – This map has been designed to let you know where you can receive both VAST Satellite TV and Foxtel Satellite TV around Australia with the ProMax Automatic satellite system. The areas on this map in green are within the coverage area for the ProMax, this is the majority of Australia. The area in white you should expect variable or no coverage. With any signal coverage map there can be some areas within this map with lower than expected signal levels, we have tried to assure accuracy within this map.
How does satellite TV work?
Satellite TV comes from satellites than are in a geostationary orbit (they don’t move and are locked to the earth’s gravity) so they are always in the same position. In Australia the satellite TV signals from VAST and Foxtel services are spread across both Optus C1 & Optus D3 satellites. These two satellites co-exist in the same location. The satellite beams do vary across the two satellites and this is why in some locations one satellite could be stronger than the other. Satellite TV providers specially design the beam of the satellite to cover where the population lives or travels. Satellite TV signal is not effected by hills/terrain or distance from terrestrial transmitters like normal terrestrial TV (digital TV) as the signal comes from a satellite in the sky. Satellite signals can be effected by rain, heavy cloud, overhanging trees or by a building blocking the northern sky (the building would need to be very close to the system to block the signal). When a satellite signal drops out or can’t be received during a storm or heavy cloud normally you just need to wait until this weather event passes and then normal service should resume. If you are in a lower signal area a lesser rain or cloud event could block the signal, again just wait for the weather to improve for normal service to resume.

The SatKing Pro Max is very simple to use simply turn the unit on and the built in GPS system will locate your required satellite very fast. Another great benefit of having a built in GPS system is that if you forget to return the unit to the home position or haven’t wired the vehicle ignition wire to the Pro Max, the motorised dish will automatically retract once the vehicle is travelling above 10Kph (the unit does require 12v or 24v power).
Flat panel satellite antennas also take up a great deal less space on the roof of your van leaving you with more choices for the exact location on your roof in between solar panels and air conditioners. Flat panel satellite TV antennas offer higher signal gain than equivalent size offset satellite TV dishes. The SatKing Pro Max moves on 3 axis meaning the old days of having to manually get up on the roof of the van to adjust LNB skew (turning the LNB clockwise or anti clockwise) when you are travelling from say Melbourne across to Adelaide and then to Perth are gone. The complete head of the antenna simply adjust automatically for you. Automatic skew will also improve the signal quality to assist you further.
The SatKing Pro Max is precision made for Harsh Australian conditions, it is rugged in construction with all main drive gears being metal for long life. The unit is backed with a 3 year Australian warranty. The unit is made in Korea, Korea is famous for making high quality and latest technology products
Pre-Programmed to receive VAST and Foxtel/Austar : This motorised satellite system suits Foxtel and VAST satellite TV. The unit has dual LNB outputs to suit twin tuner STB’s like Foxtel IQ/Austar MyStar and VAST twin tuner receivers.
The Promax can receive both DVBS and DVBS2 transponders (SD & HD MPEG4), this means the Promax can actually tune to all transponders available on both Optus C1 and D3. The added bonus of having the DVBS2 tuner already built in is that when Foxtel goes completely MPEG4 the Promax will continue to work (VAST is already MPEG4). Many other automatic systems on the market only can tune to the older MPEG2 signals, that is fine today but in the future you will have and expensive system just spinning around and around.
Numerous Applications : The ProMax has many other applications for satellite TV. The ProMax is used on mining and 4WD vehicles when overnight stays are required in remote areas so contractors can watch TV when work is finished for the day.
There is also a ProMax currently being used on one of the new kidney buses that head to regional area’s to give patients dialysis without heading to a major towns. More of these buses are being rolled out.
The ProMax is also used in outback area’s where it is not possible to get a satellite technician to attend due to distance, simply un-pack from the box plug into 12VDC and plug in your VAST receiver and watch TV in just minutes. Or you may simply be camping where there is no terrestrial TV, place the unit on the ground with a clear view to the north and power up, connect up your VAST STB and be watching satellite TV within minutes.
