Satellite Frequency Data Changed
If some channels work, while one or more other channels do not,
or the antenna cannot find the satellite, the selected satellite's
frequency data may have changed. To update this frequency
data, refer to "Updating Satellite Frequency Data" on page 90.
Incorrect or Loose RF Connectors
As part of preventive maintenance (described in Section 5.2,
"Preventive Maintenance" on page 105) KVH recommends checking
the antenna unit's cable connections. A loose RF connector can
reduce the signal quality. In addition, if you are unable to switch
satellites using your IRD remote, make sure that your IRD's RF
cable is connected to the antenna baseplate connector labeled
"RF1" (see Section 2.5, "Connecting the IRD(s) on page 26).
Type of Multiswitch Used
An active (not passive) multiswitch must always be used to
connect the TracVision G6 system to multiple IRDs. Refer to
Section 2.5, "Connecting the IRD(s)" on page 26 for directions on
proper multiswitch/multiple IRD cabling.
Do not use a multiswitch with a European dual-output LNB
system. Due to the signal polarization of European satellites, the
use of a multiswitch with a dual-output LNB will result in a loss
of signal and less than optimal operation.
