- Page 6 TIP: For your convenience, KVH lists the DIRECTV Ku-band HDTV channels, and the DIRECTV satellites that carry them, on the web at www.kvh.com/HDTV. Since DIRECTV changes its channel lineups frequently, KVH can e-mail updates to you whenever the HDTV lineup changes.
- Page 7 Using the Tri-Sat AutoSwitch Kit with Multiple Receivers Since the antenna can only track one satellite at a time, all receivers can only view channels carried by the currently tracked satellite. Therefore, switching channels on one Tri-Sat AutoSwitch- equipped receiver might cause televisions connected to other receivers to display different programming, no programming, or an error message.
