System Compatibility
The TracVision G6 is fully compatible with Digital Video
Broadcasting (DVB ) satellites, as well as DIRECTV
®
Satellite Service (DSS) satellites. The system is also fully
compatible with KVH's TracNet
System (for more information about TracNet 2.0, please visit our

In-motion Tracking
The TracVision G6 uses a state-of-the-art actively stabilized
antenna system. Once the satellite is acquired, the antenna gyro
continuously measures the heading, pitch, and roll of your vessel
and sends commands to the antenna motors to keep the antenna
pointed at the satellite at all times.
