Changing Channels And Switching Between Satellites - TracVision M9 User Manual

Changing Channels and Switching Between Satellites

During installation, your TracVision system should have been set up
to track the satellite(s) of your choice and the channel guides for your
selected satellite service should have been downloaded. Your
TracVision system is programmed to track two or three satellites,
stored in memory as Satellite A, Satellite B, and Satellite C.
IMPORTANT!
(Linear systems only) To ensure proper operation, the receiver(s)
must be set up for the same satellites, and in the same order, they
are set up in the antenna:
Antenna
Satellite
Sat. A
Sat. B
Sat. C
Since some channels might be located on another satellite, changing
channels might require switching to another satellite. Some
configurations allow automatic switching between the selected
satellites by simply using the primary receiver's remote control. The
primary receiver is the receiver connected to the antenna's RF1
connector. The primary receiver controls satellite selection; all other
receivers can only receive channels carried on the satellite selected by
the primary receiver.
Special Cases
• TracVision M9 configurations with a multiswitch installed require
using the MCU to change satellites.
• DISH 1000 customers with the DISH 129 satellite installed must
have a multiswitch installed to enable manual switching, or a
Master Receiver Selector (MRS) (KVH Part #72-0412) to enable
automatic (or manual) switching. The MRS also allows you to
select which receiver is the master receiver.
