    Default VAST Radio

    Does anyone know why VAST only supply SBS Radio and not ABC local Radio, not to mention the vast list of stations Aurora offers?

    Obviously not many people use the VAST radio, as there surely would have been some complaints by now.

    Good question as I havent even checked the radio part of VAST.
    This may be something they will move over after VAST is completed and before Aurora is closed down ??
    To be honest I dont think I have listened to the 'Radio' on either Austar or Aurora for more than 15 minutes in total in the over 10 years I have had Austar.
    Oddly enough I dont like having the TV on just for Audio only and I have never considered connecting an Amp to the Audio out of the STB.
    I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!

    That makes it important when your out of range.
    I did a scan one day and found over 30 FM stations, mostly Radio National but at least they are available.

    I'm the same. I never listen to them, but I know a lot of people out of range would. Give it a few more months. We'll see even more space being wasted by throwing another bunch of ABC radio's on the satellite just for VAST viewers/listeners. All they need to do is simulcrypt the existing ones and problem solved. But hey, logical methods aren't an option with VAST. Why there's 3 of every ABC1 up there is just beyond me.

    The smart people behind the VAST system never intended to have radio at all.

    Now why wouldn't that suprise me?

    I don't tend to use the radio much, but have had enquiries from several people that used Aurora Radio regularly.
    Maybe when our VAST Cards can finally get a successful divorce...

    Couldn’t agree more Smacca.
    P.S. The new VAST Guide is looking really slick!
