Automatic Satellite Switching
22
The TracVision system can switch between satellites automatically as
long as the primary receiver is set up for DiSEqC communicatons and
a multiswitch is not installed. With DiSEqC set up, the primary
receiver sends satellite switching commands to the antenna as
necessary when you change channels using the primary receiver's
remote control. The primary receiver is the receiver connected to the
antenna's RF1 cable (see Figure 2-15). If an optional secondary receiver
is connected, you can use its remote control to switch between the
channels on the currently selected satellite.
