Star Choice Accessories

If you own a Star Choice system and require a replacement remote control, an Infra-red to UHF conversion kit, a second dish kit or a switch to distribute your signal to 8 receivers, this is the right place.

Remote Controls

Different models of Star Choice receivers require different remote controls. Star Choice receivers can be categorized the following way:

• Infra-red receivers
  • Models 301, 305, 315, 401, 405 and 421 (discontinued)
  • Models 207 and 317 (current)
  • These receivers require a standard infra-red remote.
  • If you want to save a substantial amount on your spare or replacement remote, you can also get the 100% Star Choice compatible VOOM Infra-red remote control (see here for remote codes).
    
    
• UHF receivers with HD & PVR functions
  • Models 401, 405, 421 with UHF upgrade kit (discontinued)
  • Model DSR500 (discontinued)
  • Model DSR505HD & DSR530HD PVR
    
    
  • These receivers require a UHF remote control.
  • These receivers require an IR/UHF remote control.
    

Second dish kit / Cottage dish kit

If you currently own a Star Choice satellite system, a cottage dish kit will allow you to keep watching satellite television at your cottage (Home away from Home).

If you only have a 24inch or 30inch satellite dish not capable of dual-satellite reception, this kit will allow you to receiver 107.3°W and 111.1°W.

The Star Choice elliptical dish kit comes in 2 sizes: 60cm/24inch and 75cm/30inch.

• The 24inch kit is elliptical and measures 28" x 18" (approx.).
• The 30inch kit is elliptical and measures 35" x 28" (approx.).

Both kits come with a Quad Output LNBF. The Quad output LNBF eliminates the need for splitters and switches for up to 4 receivers! If features 4 switched outputs, independent from one another.

You may want to consider a self installation kit when purchasing a second dish kit.

If your Quad LNBF has melted under the hot summer sun, you can also get a spare Quad LNBF for your dish.

Finally, if you are using 2 separate dishes instead of a Star Choice Quad LNBF dish for your Anik F1 and Anik F2 reception, you can get a 22KHz switch to combine both signals into one cable (the receiver will actually use the switch to go to one dish or the other).

Distribution to more than 4 receivers

If you need to have more than 4 Star Choice receivers connected to a Quad Output LNBF, you must use a 4-in and 8-out multiswitch with power supply such as the S-4180-GX+.

This switch has the following inputs

• 2 inputs for 107.3°W (13V/18V)
• 2 inputs for 111.1°W (13V+22KHz/18V+22KHz)
• 1 input for Off-air or cable television

All 4 satellite inputs must be connected to the Quad LNBF (it does not matter which input goes into which output on the LNBF) otherwise you will be missing channels!

A diplexer must be used to split the off-air/cable signal from the satellite signal (to feed it to a TV or cable box) if it is combined with the satellite signal at the switch.

This switch requires power - fed via a coaxial cable (not supplied) and a power supply (included).

If you require more than 8 outputs, you can also use our 4-in and 16-out multiswitch, exclusive to Kusat in Canada!
