2.12 Changing Geographic Location

If you move to a different geographic area, you will need to
modify your TracVision G4 system to receive satellite TV signals
in the new location. To begin receiving satellite signals in the new
area, perform the following steps.
Swap LNBs
To receive the proper satellite signals in the new geographic
location, your TracVision antenna must be equipped with the
appropriate LNB for that location. If moving to the U.S., you will
need to install a North American-style LNB; if moving to Europe,
you will need to install a European-style LNB. Table 2-16 lists the
part numbers for ordering these LNB options.

With the new part, you will receive a simple instruction sheet for
swapping the LNBs.
Install New Satellites
When you move to a new area, the list of available satellites
changes. If you're moving to the U.S., you will need to choose a
new satellite pair from the list of available North American
satellites (see Table 2-9). If you're moving to Europe, you will
need to choose a new satellite pair from the list of available
European satellites (see Table 2-10). For details on installing these
new satellites, refer to Section 2.9, "Installing Satellites Using the
ADCU" on page 44.
Replace the IRD
In order to receive satellite TV service in your new geographic
location, you will need to purchase an IRD designed for that
location. Refer to your satellite TV service provider for more
information.
