Four Simple Checks - TracVision M9 User Manual

Four Simple Checks

If you are experiencing a problem receiving satellite TV with your
TracVision system, perform the four simple checks below.
TIP: You can also try resetting the satellite TV receiver. Turn off and unplug
the receiver, wait one minute, then plug it back in and turn it back on.
Can the antenna see the satellite?
The antenna requires an unobstructed view of the sky to receive
satellite TV signals. Common causes of blockage include trees,
buildings, bridges, and mountains.
Is there excessive dirt or moisture on the antenna dome?
Dirt buildup or moisture on the dome can reduce satellite reception.
Clean the exterior of the dome periodically.
Is it raining heavily?
Heavy rain or snow can weaken satellite TV signals. Reception should
improve once the inclement weather subsides.
Is everything turned on and connected properly?
Make sure your TV and receiver are both turned on and set up for the
satellite input. Finally, check any connecting cables to ensure none
have come loose.
