A Bit About Us

"Beyond best practice"

Homesat TV(HTV) was founded in Darwin in 1992 by Russell Craig. 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.

Things should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler.

- Albert Einstein

From big mining companies to residential units, HTV has got you covered. We offer complete packages to corporate clients. As an example of our capacity in remote areas, we recently provided a combination of 12 Subscription/Network TV channels and installed the distribution cable to in excess of 700 viewing points within a workers complex at Alyangula, Groote Eylandt. We offer a standard installation module that carries two phones (VOIP) with two PC work stations within your site office and a network TV/Radio service for the Crib Room/ Mess. This can be optioned to include a transmitted broadcast radio service for 24 hour reception by mining operators (Mobile) on remote mine sites.

Digital Television

Why do I need to change?

With Analog TV entering it's dying days, if you haven't already switched to digital it's probably time you did. Not only are you missing out on a feast of extra TV stations, you can receive a far better quality picture. High definition pictures are available on digital only. To receive digital TV your television must have an in-built tuner or else you must get a set-top-box.

We have a range of top quality digital antennae for sale. Whether you live in Humpty Doo or the CBD we have the digital solution for you. Here is a list of the digital channels currently available in Darwin and surrounds:

• ABC 1, 2, 3 and ABC 1 HD
• SBS 1, 2, 3 and SBS 1 HD
• SCTV and SCTV HD
• SEVEN2
• NINE and NINE HD
• TEN and TEN HD(soon to be ONE HD)
