KVH Industries TracVision R4 - Manual (Page 7)

1 Introduction
1.1 Digital Satellite Television
Your new TracVision R5/R4 satellite antenna is fully compatible
with the Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) satellites, which use
the international standard for digital TV transmission, as well as
Digital Satellite Service (DSS) services, such as DIRECTV. As a
result, you will be able to receive and decode signals from your
chosen satellite services with the proper programming and
hardware (e.g., the satellite TV receiver).
Your TracVision R5/R4 comes with a pre-programmed “satellite
library” of European and North American satellite services.
When configuring the TracVision R5/R4, you may choose a pair
of satellites from the library to be active in the system and with
your receiver. For the antenna to receive signals from two
satellites, they must be within 10° longitude of each other in
orbit. As a result, certain satellites can only be paired with certain
other satellites. Tables 1-1 and 1-2 list the possible satellite pairs
that may be selected in North America and Europe. If the satellite
service you wish to receive is not already in the satellite library, you
may also add two additional satellites of your choice to the library.
