About Mobile Sat About Phantom Making security and safety readily available to all vehicle owners Phantom was set up in 2002 to provide tracking systems for caravan, motorhome and car owners. Since then we have expanded our portfolio to offer a comprehensive range of products that secures and makes safe your vehicle investment whether you own one vehicle or a nationwide fleet.

The advice you need If you don’t want to miss an episode of your favorite soap opera or the football results while away in your caravan or motorhome, then you need a satellite dish provided and professionally installed by Phantom.

Using a satellite dish whilst on holiday will enable you to watch crystal clear television as if you were at home and most of our satellite TV packages come with decoders which offer subscription-free viewing, no matter where you are.

Purchasing a satellite TV system can be tricky, with many questions to answer, such as: • •

•

•

Which channels do you want to receive?

Which satellites do you want to be able to connect to?

Where in Europe will you be taking your vehicle?

Do you want to use a Sky or freesat box with your system?

Helping you make the right choice Don’t worry we have experts on hand to ensure that your system meets all of your needs.

Our products, specifically designed for caravans and motorhomes, vary from smaller satellite dishes for use in the UK, to larger dishes, which cover Spain, Portugal, Germany and Italy. We also provide a range of satellite decoders and other accessories.

Mobile Satellite and digital TV

tellite Television on the move demystified If your interested in watching your favourite TV channels while away in your caravan or motorhome you might find that purchasing the required equipment is full of technical jargon and complications. This article explains what is required to receive a signal and help you avoid expensive pit falls.

Digital Terrestrial Television Vs Satellite Television Now that the digital age has dawned upon us and the analogue service is being switched off we have two choices, Digital Terrestrial Television or Satellite Television and there is one clear winner!

Digital terrestrial television is a directional service which means your antenna needs to be pointing at the mast which beams out the service which becomes quite hard to find as its hard to fine tune.

Its not like in the days of analogue were you could turn the antenna until the fuzzy picture becomes clearer it’s a case of it either works or it doesn’t. To add to this there is also a considerable delay in getting the picture so you could of already passed the point were this would work.

Digital terrestrial television is really intended for homes and towns not in the middle of the countryside were you will be on holiday.

Satellite television combats this problem by offering an unbeatable service which is available as long as you can see the sky.

So unless your planning your holiday in an underground car park you should be fine.

What you get Satellite TV explained There are various different satellites in orbit beaming down digital television and music services. The satellites have names such as Astra 2a, Astra 2b,Astra 2d, HotBird, Eurobird etc. Before May 2003 TV channels such as BBC, ITV, Channel 4 etc where beamed out from the Astra 2a satellite all over Europe. The signal was encrypted though so the use of a viewing card and decoder such from SKY TV was required to be able to make use of this signal. After May 2003 it became apparent that these free to air channels should be available to more than just SKY TV customers but the issue of TV licensing was holding them back until the point that everything was switched over to the Astra 2d satellite.

The Astra 2d satellite has a much more compact footprint which covers the UK and Ireland [see illustration top right].

“The further away you get from the UK the weaker the satellite signal becomes, because of this you will need more specialised equipment�

Mobile Satellite and digital TV What about outside the UK? The further away you get from the UK the weaker the satellite signal becomes, because of this you will need more specialised equipment such as a bigger dish size and systems that automatically search out satellites.

If you cant receive signal from the Astra 2d satellites there are others satellites out there showing different television and digital radio channels such as:
