FAQ

The remote control that came with the 12V mobile DIRECTV receiver does not operate other audio/video components in my vehicle or vessel.

There are a number of common issues that may explain why your remote control does not operate the other component.

Proper component button not pressed
To operate the satellite TV system using the remote control, first press the remote controls SAT button. The remote control will not operate the receiver unless the SAT button is active. To operate a component other than the satellite receiver, first press the corresponding component button on the remote control. For example, to operate the TV monitor using the remote control, first press the TV button.

Remote control not programmed
If you are unable to operate a component with the remote control, first ensure that the associated component button (DVD,VCR,AUX, or TV) is selected on the remote control. If the correct button is selected, you need to program the remote control to operate the component. Refer to the "Programming the Remote Control to Operate Other Components" section of your TracVision User's Guide for complete details on this process.

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.

Do I need more than one TracVision antenna if I have multiple screens/TVs on my vehicle or boat?

No. All TracVision antennas can support multiple video screens and multiple receivers so each TV screen can show a different channel.

Does the TracVision R6 system need any regular maintenance?

No regular maintenance is required. However, a clean dome ensures the best reception.

Do TracVision R6 systems work in all kinds of weather?

Absolutely, although storm or cloud conditions may cause temporary disruption in the satellite TV signal, reducing signal strength to both home and mobile antennas.

Exclusive Technology

DewShield Technology
DewShield, KVH’s exclusive, electronic dew elimination system, prevents moisture from collecting on the dome in less-than-perfect weather, when you need a clear picture most! Dew is prevented from forming on the surface of the antenna dome automatically by a GPS-based electronic device that synchronized to local time, turns on in the pre-dawn hours, and normalizes the temperature inside the dome by adjusting to the rising temperature of the morning air.

Testimonials

“Obviously, the big thing that I use it for is to get ESPN, the football games, and to be able to get the Weather Channel. That to me is very important. That and to be able to sit back and put on the TracVision satellite TV and get incredible reception. I’ve had other satellite systems since 1996 when I first started the journey, but this is just one flip and within a minute I’m zeroed in.”*
