Digital Satellite Television

Your TracVision R5/R4 satellite TV antenna is fully compatible
with the Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) satellites, as well as
Digital Satellite Services (DSS), such as DIRECTV. As a result,
you will be able to receive and decode signals from your chosen
satellite services with the proper programming and hardware
(e.g., the satellite TV receiver).
Your TracVision R5/R4 comes with a pre-programmed "satellite
library" of North American and European satellite services.
When configuring the TracVision R5/R4, you may choose a pair
of satellites from the library to be active in the system and with
your receiver. If the satellite service you wish to receive is not already
in the satellite library, you may also add two additional satellites of
your choice to the library.
Available Satellite Pairs
North America
Any two of the North American satellites listed below can be
paired together, as long as the antenna is within the satellite's
coverage area (U.S.-style LNB required):
• DSS_72
• DSS_101

• Echo_61
• Echo_110
54-0157 Rev. J

installed.
