For TracVision A9
Due to the position of DIRECTV’s 101°W satellite, the broadcasts from this satellite (DIRECTV’s standard programming, XM Satellite Radio channels, and many local markets) are accessible via the low-profile TracVision A5, A7, and A9 throughout almost the entire continental United States. However, in a few areas, the satellite is less than 32° above the horizon. As a result, programming may not be available in some far northern regions due to lower-than-optimal satellite elevation.
