KVH Industries antenna system - Manual (Page 114)

One TracVision Mobile Receiver, One Standard
Home Receiver, and One Digital Video Recorder
Components Required
• Splitter Kit, KVH P/N 72-0177
• Destacker, Dual-output, KVH P/N 19-0410
• Multiswitch, KVH P/N 19-0123
• The special splitter included in the Splitter Kit
permits communications between the antenna
and the primary receiver. A standard off-the-
shelf splitter will not work.
Why Do I Need a Dual-output Destacker?
• The multiswitch requires two unstacked inputs.
Since the output of the TracVision antenna is a
stacked signal, the dual-output destacker is used
to split the signal into two unstacked signals.
Compatible DIRECTV Receiver Models
• The TracVision antenna is compatible with all
new DIRECTV-branded receiver models
manufactured today. Older, non-DIRECTV-
branded receiver models are not supported.
Recording Limitation
• Since the TracVision mobile receiver controls
satellite selection, the DVR can record any
channel that is carried on the currently selected
satellite; however it cannot record a channel that
is carried on a different satellite.
Multiswitch
• You will need an active multiswitch to connect
multiple components to the TracVision system.
KVH recommends Channel Master model
6214IFD or equivalent. This active (powered)
multiswitch amplifies the signal to compensate
for signal loss. A passive multiswitch will not
provide the necessary amplification.
Local Channels
• Only the primary mobile receiver can receive
local channels (within the DMA used on your
account).
