2.12 Changing Geographic Location

If you move to a different geographic area, you will need to
modify your TracVision G6 system to receive satellite TV signals
in the new location. To begin receiving satellite signals in the new
area, perform the following steps.
Swap LNBs
To receive the proper satellite signals in the new geographic
location, your TracVision antenna must be equipped with the
appropriate LNB for that location. If moving to the U.S., you will
need to install a North American-style LNB; if moving to Europe,
you will need to install a European-style LNB; and if moving to
Latin America, you will need to install a Latin American-style
LNB. Table 2-16 lists the part numbers for ordering these LNB
options.

European Dual-output LNB
With the new part, you will receive a simple instruction sheet for
swapping the LNBs.
Install New Satellites
When you move to a new area, the list of available satellites
changes. If you're moving to Europe, you will need to choose a
new satellite pair from the list of available European satellites
(see Table 2-10). If you're moving to the U.S., you will need to
choose a new satellite pair from the list of available North
American satellites (see Table 2-9). And if you're moving to Latin
America, you will need to select the Latin American satellite. For
details on installing these new satellites, refer to Section 2.9,
"Installing Satellites Using the ADCU" on page 46.
Replace the IRD
In order to receive satellite TV service in your new geographic
location, you will need to purchase an IRD designed for that
location. Refer to your satellite TV service provider for details.

You may also need to replace your
television when changing
geographic location. In North
America, your TV must support the
NTSC video standard. In Europe,
your TV must support the PAL
video standard.
