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.
