Two TracVision Mobile Receivers and One
Digital Video Recorder (DVR)
Components Required
• Two Splitter Kits, KVH P/N 72-0177
• Destacker, Dual-output, KVH P/N 19-0410
• 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 output of the TracVision antenna is a special
stacked signal, which the TracVision mobile
receiver is configured to decode. Since all
standard DVRs are configured to decode
unstacked signals, a dual-output destacker is
needed to convert the antenna’s stacked signal
into two unstacked signals.
• A dual-output destacker is required because
DVRs, such as TiVo, have two unstacked inputs,
whereas standard receivers have only one input.
Adding the Second TracVision Mobile Receiver
• Refer to “Two TracVision Mobile Receivers” on
page A.7 for details.
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. For example, if
your mobile receiver is tuned to a channel on the
119 satellite, you would not be able to record a
program on the 101 satellite. You would need to
switch to the 101 satellite on the mobile receiver.
Local Channels
• Only the primary mobile receiver can receive
local channels (within the DMA used on your
account).
