2.3.5.2 Connecting Three or More Receivers
(North American Systems)
To install three or more receivers and TVs, an active multiswitch
(Channel Master #6214IFD or equivalent) must be placed
between the antenna unit and the receivers. Figure 2-15 illustrates
typical wiring arrangements for multiple receivers. If more than
four receivers are required, contact KVH for additional wiring
instructions. Mount the multiswitch unit in accordance with the
manufacturer's instruction sheet.

TracVision R5/R4 has the capability
to switch from one satellite to
another when you choose TV
channels that are carried by your
two selected satellites. However,
the use of an active multiswitch
may interfere with communication
from the receivers to the antenna.
In this case, you will need to use
the optional TV/SAT Switch* as
described in Section 3.2, "Changing
Channels and Switching Between
Satellites" on page 3-2.
