Viewer Access Satellite Television (VAST)

I know Omeo can get VAST but Falls Creek do have their own retransmission facilities for GLV, AMV & VTV.

(LATE BECAUSE I DIDN’T CREATE MY ACCOUNT) The VAST Scenic loop is so cool! Are there any videos on any social media platforms of the VAST Regional News Scenic Loop?

Yes, but when I went to Howman’s Gap in November 2020, I saw Viewer Access Satellite Television, and I knew because I saw the 9Go! Ident that had balloons and that ident is only used for Imparja and the Scenic Loop for Regional News. I didn’t record any of it because I didn’t know if I was going to see it again. Also, a very strong point, VAST is eligible for Falls Creek because half the buildings are eligible for VAST. Snow is frequent, so that’s another reason VAST is eligible. Also, one of my Christmas Presents is VAST, but sadly, I didn’t get it. Also, is anyone planning to do Average TV Day for VAST in their regions (except WA as WAtvVideos already did that in 2019)?

Are you genuinely ok…?

Do you need a ā€œWidebandā€ LNB for all the channels even though I checked recent news for VAST and nothing came up (Like Local News, ICTV and Interstate Channels)?

All you need is a 10700 LNB.

As for interstate channels, that’s all to do with the location set on your box. There are a few different regions/bouquets (WA, North East, South East, etc) that the channels are divided into. If you want a different set of channels, you either pick a different bouquet ( some UEC boxes you had to hold down a button on the remote to get a bouquet picker), or choose a different location on the map in settings (though I think that only works with traveller activations; can someone confirm that?).

for a travellers rego the only way to change it is to call the service center. the good thing is that if you call from a number registered to your a account it’s a 24/7 IVR (so press 1 for this, press 2for that) and the change is virtually instant

Hmm… different set of channels eh? Then maybe a 10700 LNB and a pack of only Local News for my YT channel for me only.

Did you have a previous account on here under the name VAST_Study or similar?

I actually quit with that because I wanted to focus about more stuff, like GOLD, Extra, other datacasting channels, WIN, PRiME, Foxtel, Imparja, Southern Cross and 54 WA.

Any changes to the Regional News Lineup ever since 1st January 2026?

The Scenic Loop was originally used on Southern Cross Ten from 2007 as an HD Demostration. Sorry if I broke the 4th Wall.

I have a few questions about the VAST Scenic Loop controlled by Seven West Media (formerly Southern Cross Austereo that was shown on Southern Cross 10 on HD only as a demonstration.)

  1. Why is the VAST Scenic Loop a sequel of Southern Cross Ten HD Demonstration, except there’s a sign that says: ā€œRegional News: Select Channel 4 for the full list of news bulletins and channel numbers?ā€ I find it a ā€˜VAST’ range.
  2. What regions does the VAST Scenic Loop show?
  3. How long did the scenic loop exist in Regional News on VAST?
  4. FINAL: Is this a filler?

You’ve got it backwards, Seven West Media no longer exists now it’s all Southern Cross Media.

That’s why I put formerly. I’m in the Southern Cross here.

Try again :laughing:

If you’re really ā€œin the southern crossā€ can you tell them to stop changing the DAB stations every 6 months? :face_with_tongue:

Actually, I did not know that actually changed the ownership, I thought Seven West Media was still broadcasting channel Seven. Now I have a feeling that the Southern Cross Television Brand will return in Regional VIC, NSW, Regional QLD, TAS, Spencer Gulf SA, Darwin & Central?
