Alden 90cm Platinum Motorhome Satellite System






Alden 90cm Platinum Motorhome Satellite System 

For people who want the best chance of picking up BBC, ITV, Channel 4 & 5, even in southern and eastern parts of Europe, we recommend this automatic satellite TV system from Alden.

At 90cm, the dish is about as big as a roof-mounted model can be but the dish’s construction means that, even when wind speeds strengthen, the effect on the dish will be kept to a minimum. This is due to the fact that, like domestic SKY dishes, there are thousands of perforations which allow the wind to pass through freely.

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 U.K. 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.)

Like all Alden SSC systems, this model is very simple to use: switch it on, press a button and the dish rises up and locates the satellite - it’s as easy as that!

This System is FREESAT ready.
