Satellite TV is delivered by communication satellites as
opposed to terrestrial TV which is broadcast by radio
frequency. The SSC unit supplements these and hence
provides a wider range of channels including subscription-only
services. It is dedicated to find OPTUS D2, OPTUS C1, OPTUS
D1, INTELSAT 8, OPTUS D3. The Alden satellite can be used
with any existing receiver (using 10.7 GHz LO) that allows
the reception of the channels from the chosen satellite and
is especially designed to be used in leisure vehicles. The unit
mounts onto the roof of your vehicle and features an inbuilt
safety device – should you forget to lower the satellite dish,
upon ignition of your vehicle, the system will shut itself down.
It works in two stages namely selecting the satellite you wish
to utilize and step 2 would be selecting the zone that you’re in.
Comes with a 1yr warranty.
Now you can have more TV choices further away from home!

What advantages will the Alden Satellite System offer
over the local terrestrial broadcast?
The Alden Automated System is able to receive satellite
TV reception Australia wide whereas terrestrial signals are
only broadcast in capital cities & major town centres. The
terrestrial signal will not reach remote areas in Australia (even
in parts of Sydney, the terrestrial TV signals weaken as you
travel further away from the terrestrial transmitter towers).
Can I use the Alden Automated Satellite System whilst
‘free camping’?
YES - all components within the system run from a
12V DC source.
If I choose to leave my current camp site, & I forgot to
close the satellite dish, will it be damaged whilst I am
driving & it is still in the upright position?
The Satellite Search Control Unit (SSC) has a built in safety
feature. This means that when it is wired to the 12V ignition
system* of the RV, the unit will automatically lower to the
closed position to prevent the dish being damaged in transport.
When folded down i.e. in its closed position, how high
off the roof of my RV is the system?
230mm which is lower than most of the ‘low profile’ air
conditioners on the market.
Do I have to climb on the roof of my RV to adjust any of
the Alden satellite system?
NO - if you need to change the required satellite/ zones, this
can be done from inside you RV on the SSC unit;
all at the touch of a button.
*This function may incur additional installation charges when
fitting to your RV.
