Manual SatLog-in

Although the OPENSKY™ Client is the easiest and most convenient way to access the OPENSKY™ service, there may be times when you want to login to the fast internet service without it. For example, if you have just signed up for an account and want to download the Opensky Client at satellite speeds.

You do not need to have any software installed on your PC for this method but you will need to set proxies in your browser manually whenever you want to login this way.

You can use this method with the BSM2: untick the "Enable VPN" box and commit changes. Use the BSM2 to connect terrestrially and then follow the below procedure.

3. Select “Disconnect” from the drop-down menu

Opensky Client

We recommend you use the OPENSKY™ Client as it gives you access to all the OPENSKY™ services – not just SatSurf – in one easy convenient control panel.

You can store your Login and Password for it to remember along with your chosen dial-up account so Login to SatSurf becomes a one-click process.

For the latest version of Internet Explorer, the OPENSKY™ client even automates the setting and resetting of proxy configuration as you Login and Logout.

And it gives you easy access to SatKiosk (file downloads) and the SatTV video streams.

You can download it here. Since it is approx 20MB we suggest you download it from a fast connection - such as the manual method described above or a terrestrial broadband connection.
