A Bit About Us

"Beyond best practice"

satellite_install Homesat TV(HTV) was founded in Darwin in 1992. Initially the company focused on satellite delivered television technologies within the Darwin region. By the end of the decade Homesat TV had moved into a broader range of satellite communication platforms. Over time HTV have become experts in VSAT (2-way internet and VOIP), capable of setting up high speed internet and voice communications with full access to all existing phone subscribers both nationally and overseas, these call costs are often cheaper than a standard connection. HTV has worked extensively in Western Australia and Queensland and also in East Timor, Malaysia and Brunei installing VSAT communications and TV /radio reception. HTV not only covers complex corporate jobs but also services the Darwin area's digital TV needs. We install residential UHF antennas (type of antenna needed to receive digital), install satellite dishes for network and pay TV, re-align dishes or simply install a suitable digital splitter, cable and wall plate for an extra room viewing point. All work is regarded as a showcase of our professional attitude, and photographed for historical data access.

It is not fair to ask of others what you are unwilling to do yourself.

- Eleanor Roosevelt
