Before we started taking the Foxtel box with us I'd ring and put a freeze on Foxtel for the length of our trip so no charges while I was awayOk.
Big day! I've made a decision.
No Foxtel on the road...too much fluffing around for me.
Thought about how much to we would want to watch while away for 3 months .....very little.
Anything we would want can be scheduled to record on fox box at home and watch when we get back. We're paying for it so may as well use it.
In the meantime, we can be almost tv free!,
But thanks fo the good info, I now know what I'm rejecting.

Hi @yabbietol,
We bought the same Sat System from Accedd and have tried it at home, worked really well, we just got the cheap finder though and it was a bit of a mission finding the right satellite. Which finder did you get, and you find it easy hey...
The one I bought is described as below on the Access web site and cost $150 as part of the package($188 without kit including postage):Hi @yabbietol,

How's the WA weather now? Any backlash from Stan?
Copping a bit of wind and rain in the South West but able to sit out under the gazebo with a coffee or two this morning..... Now clear but a bit cool!I've seen the interminable ads for H and A and all those other hyped up shows...just as well the tennis was good!
The Chaser looks to be a rival for "nothing show of the year" but I could be wrong....I often am but I won't be tempting my taste buds.

Ah......ready for the big tv offerings starting today?
Out of sheer curiosity, I'd be interested in a guess of power usage changes from normal tv to the rolls Royce satellite combo.
Hope it all works well.
Not sure of exact figures,the specs say less than 15W on 12V. An important reason we bought the Satking DVBS2 8000CA set top box is that it can run directly of 12V so when free camping we do not have to run the inverter to watch Sat TV. We have yet to use our set up bush camping, but we will certainly be watching power usage when we do.
Specs are on this web page

Most other brands and models of freestanding Sat TV set top box seem to run on 240V so you need an inverter running or 240V power supplied. The characteristics of permanently mounted Sat TV systems are not known to me as they were out of our price range and we did not do any research into their performance or specs. I am sure someone else on this forum would know about their power consumption.
