Satellite Dishes & Antennas

RV Satellite Dishes & Antennas: Crystal Clear TV Anywhere in NZ.

Don't let a remote location stop you from catching the big game or your favourite evening news. While standard terrestrial TV antennas work well near main city centres with a direct line-of-sight to broadcasting towers, a satellite dish is the only reliable way to receive a crystal-clear signal across the entire New Zealand landscape. Whether you’re tucked into a valley in the Southern Alps or parked on a secluded beach in the Far North, our satellite systems ensure you stay connected.

At RV World, we offer a comprehensive range of satellite and antenna solutions to suit every budget and camping style, featuring trusted brands like KiwiSat, NZSat, Majestic, and King Quest.

Choosing the Right Satellite System for Your Travels

Depending on how often you move and your preferred level of convenience, we have three main styles of satellite dishes:

• Fully Automatic Satellite Dishes: The ultimate in "set and forget" luxury. With the push of a button, units like the KiwiSat Plus or NZSat Automatic will deploy, search, and lock onto the Optus D1 satellite in seconds.
• Manual Wind-Up Dishes: A popular and cost-effective roof-mounted solution. These allow you to adjust the dish from inside your vehicle using a manual crank, providing a permanent setup without the automatic price tag.
• Portable Satellite Kits: Perfect for those who park under trees. Portable dishes can be moved around your campsite to find a clear window to the sky. Setup will take a little longer so it may not be suitable for adventurers who move camp often.

DVB-S2 Receivers and Sky TV Compatibility

To view high-definition Freeview via satellite, your television must have a built-in DVB-S2 receiver. If your current TV only supports terrestrial signals (DVB-T), you will need an external satellite receiver box. We stock specialised 12V receivers like the Skybox series, which are not only energy-efficient but often include card slots for Sky TV compatibility, allowing you to take your home subscription on the road.

High-Gain Antennas for Coastal and Urban Camping

If you primarily stay near urban hubs or coastal regions with strong land-based signals, a high-quality omni-directional TV antenna (like the Majestic UFO series) may suit your needs. These are compact, have no moving parts, and pick up signals from 360 degrees, making them a great low-maintenance option for boats and smaller campervans.
