Alden Motorhome System

Alden 80cm Platinum Motorhome Satellite System 

This Motorhome Satellite System is suitable for use on motorhomes of all sizes as well as other vehicles with suitable mounting places, the Orbiter is a good, general-purpose satellite TV system.

The ''Platinum'' models are finished with a hard-wearing silver coating and the dish itself is constructed of perforated steel for maximum protection against movement caused by wind.

Any digital satellite receiver can be used with the Orbiter and, if a free to air receiver is used, thousands of channels transmitted via Astra 1, Astra 2, Atlantic Bird, Hotbird and Hispasat can be accessed. These include all those from BBC & ITV to be accessed as well as most UK. radio stations. (As with all satellite TV systems, the programmes which can be received will vary according to geographical location. See the footprint map below.)

With its distinctive colour and specially designed elliptical dish, the Orbiter Platinum looks spectacular and performs superbly.

Using the simple SSC controller, various satellites - including Astra 2, Astra 1 & Hotbird - can be easily and quickly located. A free to air receiver or SKY digibox - or both - can be connected to the system.

This unit is FREESAT compactable.
