FAQ
Why does this product ship via truck freight only?
The KVH TracVision TV8 dome weighs 88.2 lbs and is a large, precision marine electronics system. Due to its size and weight, it must ship via truck freight carrier and does not qualify for standard parcel or free shipping promotions. Please contact us to arrange your delivery and get an estimated arrival timeframe.
Is the Circular LNB version right for me, or do I need a different LNB configuration?
The Circular LNB version (model 01-0386-07) is specifically configured for North American Ku-band satellite services that use circular polarization, such as DIRECTV. If you are operating primarily in North America and subscribing to a circular-polarization provider, this is the correct model. For international or linear LNB applications, KVH offers other TracVision TV8 configurations. Contact our team if you are unsure which model fits your satellite service provider.
How many TVs can the TracVision TV8 support simultaneously?
The TracVision TV8 supports system configurations with multiple receiver installations, making it suitable for larger vessels with crew lounges or multiple cabin setups. The exact number of simultaneous outputs depends on your receiver and configuration. Contact KVH or our team for specific multi-receiver setup guidance.
Does the TracVision TV8 work when the vessel is underway and moving?
Yes. The TracVision TV8 features advanced inertial-based stabilized tracking and high-performance DVB-S2 algorithms specifically designed to maintain satellite lock and deliver a clear picture even in heavy seas and while underway. The integrated GPS further supports fast re-acquisition if the signal is momentarily interrupted.
Does this system require professional installation?
While the single coaxial cable design simplifies installation significantly compared to multi-cable systems, the TracVision TV8 is a commercial-grade marine satellite system. Professional installation by a qualified marine electronics technician is strongly recommended to ensure optimal performance, proper dome placement, and compliance with any vessel requirements. KVH's Certified Support Network can assist with locating qualified installers.
