VAST is an acronym for Viewer Access Satellite Television.
Usually required for residents who live in remote and rural areas without access to terrestrial television signals, VAST is a satellite television platform that provides digital television and radio services.
Currently delivering free-to-air TV to over 200,000 Australian households, this system means everyone has access to high quality TV and radio service.
If your house doesn’t receive the national standard signal strength, you can apply for VAST. This means your TV is connected to a satellite rather than a physical antenna on top of the roof.
