SATELLITE TV RECEIVERS
Choosing the right model Choosing a satellite receiver to use in your vehicle or boat
can be just as confusing as choosing a satellite dish but, as long as you know what you want to watch, when and where, it all gets a lot easier to understand.
If you have a Sky receiver, you can use that although there may be rules and regulations concerning what you can
and can’t do. The other “official” satellite TV provider in the U.K. is freesat and we have a 12V model in our range. The advantage of a freesat receiver is that it is designed especially to make life easy for U.K. viewers. Once you’ve finished the initial set-up, the receiver will pretty much look after itself and not require any effort on your part. The disadvantage is that the channels that are available are
decided by freesat and this restricts what you can watch. It is possible to get round this and to add channels but, for most people, this is not an ideal arrangement.
Our most popular receivers are Free to Air (F.T.A.) models and these are available with a wide range of features. If you have a TV which is H.D. compatible, you could go for
one of our H.D. receivers. If you want to record programmes, look for models with USB recording (P.V.R.) option. A Common Interface (C.I.) slot will enable you to use most viewing cards - although not Sky cards.
The biggest advantage of a F.T.A. receiver is that it can
receive any channels within range and which are being transmitted without encryption. What’s more, if you can point your dish at different satellites, you can also watch programmes from all over Europe and beyond.
Of course, if you’re using a receiver in a vehicle or boat, you’ll probably want it to operate on 12V and all of the models on these pages do just that. Most operate on 230V as well.
If you want to hide your receiver away, you’ll need one with a remote sensor.
Finally, if you have an “EasyFind” LNB on your dish, you’ll
probably want to get a compatible receiver. We have a choice of three.
See the specification table below to see which receiver has which features.
MICRO M30/12 FTA SATELLITE RECEIVER
D2346 £72.99
A basic free to air receiver which can be used with any satellite system. It’s easy to operate and can be used in conjunction with the “EasyFind” LNB system - see page 55.
This receiver is similar to D2346 but has an HDMI socket (receiver is S.D. only), a remote infra-red sensor and recording using a USB stick or hard drive.
MICRO M30 HDMI/USB FTA SATELLITE RECEIVER
D2348 £92.99
Plugging straight into a TV’s SCART socket, this receiver works just like an ordinary set- top box. Using a SCART lead, it can also be used away from the TV. A remote sensor is supplied.

With its high definition capability, programmes which are transmitted in HD can be seen as they were intended, with unbelievable sharpness and brightness. You’ll have to use a suitable TV of course, such as the InovTech models on page 64. A common interface slot is built in, enabling the use of most viewing cards (not Sky) and you can record onto a USB memory stick or hard drive.
