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 either of two satellites,
stored in memory as Satellite A and Satellite B.
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
Since some channels might be located on another satellite, changing
channels might require switching to the second selected satellite. Most
TracVision M9 configurations allow automatic switching between the
selected satellites by simply using the primary receiver's remote
control.
NOTE: TracVision M9 configurations with a multiswitch installed require
using the MCU to change satellites.
NOTE: At this time, DISH Network supports only the standard-definition
model 311 receiver for mobile use. All other receiver models have been
designated for home use only. DISH Network subscribers must use the MCU
to change satellites.
TIP: 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.
