FAQ

I'm planning to use TracVision to receive Bell TV satellite TV programming in Canada. What are the approved receivers?

Please refer to the TracVision quick start guide or installation manual for details on Bell TV receivers that KVH has tested and approved.

How do I set up my TracVision R4SL, R5SL, R4, or R5 for Bell TV service and automatic satellite switching?

For details on setting up automatic satellite switching for the Bell TV satellite TV service, please watch our online setup video.

If I decide later that I want to be able to watch satellite TV while on the go, will I be able to upgrade my stationary TracVision R4SL?

Certainly! KVH offers an easy in-motion upgrade kit to give your TracVision R4SL the same capabilities as a TracVision R5SL.

Can I watch satellite TV while we are driving through the city?

Like all satellite TV systems, TracVision antennas require a clear view of the Southern sky to see and track the satellite. In a city, the various buildings and other structures will block the view to the satellite as you travel, resulting in intermittent or no satellite signal. Depending on your location in the continental United States, the satellite will be lower in the sky as you head further North, higher as you head South.

How do I set up my TracVision R4SL, R5SL, R4, or R5 for DISH Network and automatic satellite switching?

For details on enabling automatic satellite switching for DISH Network service, please watch our online training video.
