Kathrein CAP900 Twin LNB Autoskew Satellite System
By Kathrein
The Kathrein CAP900 satellite system offers twin LNB and a
fully motorised skew system with built in GPS unit to track the
satellite at all times.

|
Kathrein’s latest automatic
satellite TV system is, without any doubt, the
most sophisticated model of its kind available.
Using GPS technology to position the dish, its
speed and accuracy are unrivalled: even the
L.N.B. is automatically adjusted for optimum
performance every time the system is switched
on. This extreme accuracy gives the CAP 900 a
performance equivalent to other systems with
considerably bigger dishes. A twin L.N.B. is
standard enabling a SKY receiver to be easily
connected and the CAP 900 comes with its own
sophisticated, fully featured receiver which
enables reception of dozens of different
satellites and up to 4,000 channels. Two common
access slots are provided so that subscription
cards (not SKY cards) can also be used.
|
This receiver also acts as the system’s
controller, saving space and ensuring a neat and tidy
installation. The receiver is simple to use via the on-screen
display and even a first-time user should be able to use the
system within minutes of installation. This system is complete
and, after installation, ready to go. It only requires an
additional receiver if you wish to receive Channels 4 & 5
or any SKY subscription channels. All BBC & ITV channels -
along with hundreds of other English language ones and
thousands of foreign channels can all be received without any
additional cost.
The Kathrein CAP 900 measures 23cm when folded
down.
