Changing Channels And Switching Between Satellites (Circular Versions) - KVH Industries TracVision M5 User Manual

Changing Channels and Switching Between Satellites
(Circular Versions)
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.
Since some channels might be located on another satellite, changing
channels might require switching between satellites. With most
TracVision configurations, satellite switching occurs automatically
while you change channels using the primary receiver's remote
control. Find your selected service and configuration in the following
sections for complete details.
TIP: The primary receiver is the receiver connected to the antenna's RF1
connector.
DISH 1000
When the TracVision M5/M7 system is configured for DISH 1000, you
can view the DISH HDTV programming for your geographic area.
You can configure the system for either DISH 1000/61 or
DISH 1000/129 use.
