KVH TracVision UHD7 DIRECTV HDTV Maritime Satellite TV System
Description
The KVH TracVision UHD7 redefines satellite TV at sea, delivering full DIRECTV high-definition programming to your boat exactly the way you'd experience it at home. Designed for North American waters, this 24" maritime satellite TV antenna system simultaneously tracks three DIRECTV Ka- and Ku-band satellites at once - eliminating satellite switching entirely and ensuring a seamless, uninterrupted viewing experience offshore. At the heart of the system is KVH's patented Tri-Rod Antella Design (TriAD) technology, a breakthrough in compact antenna engineering that concentrates signals through a tuned subreflector before reaching the unique tri-rod dielectric feed for home-dish-quality reception on the water.
Beyond stunning picture quality, the TracVision UHD7 supports full DVR capability so everyone aboard can watch, record, and replay their favorite programming on their own schedule. The IP-enabled Antenna Control Unit (ACU) features Ethernet, built-in Wi-Fi, and a USB port, making setup and maintenance remarkably simple - and the exclusive KVH iPhone app puts signal monitoring, satellite switching, and software updates right in your pocket.

Manuals & Guides
FAQ
Does the TracVision UHD7 require a DIRECTV subscription?
Yes, the TracVision UHD7 requires an active DIRECTV subscription to receive programming. The system is designed for DIRECTV's North American satellite network and is also compatible with Dish service. Contact DIRECTV directly to set up a marine account, which is separate from a standard residential subscription.
What does "simultaneous tracking of 3 satellites" mean for my viewing experience?
It means the antenna locks onto all three DIRECTV satellites at the same time, so your system never has to switch between satellites to find a signal. Traditional single-satellite systems can lose signal or require a switching delay when programming broadcasts on different satellites. With the UHD7, you get uninterrupted access to the full DIRECTV channel lineup without any gaps or dropouts caused by satellite handoffs.
Can I use a DVR with the TracVision UHD7?
Yes - the TracVision UHD7 fully supports DIRECTV-compatible Digital Video Recorders (DVRs). You can record your favorite shows and movies while underway and watch them at any time. Multiple TVs on board can play different content simultaneously, making it ideal for larger vessels with multiple cabins or viewing areas.
How is this product shipped, and how long does delivery take?
The TracVision UHD7 must ship via truck freight and does not qualify for standard or free shipping promotions. It ships directly from the manufacturer. Please contact us at service@omahasportsandgames.com before or after ordering to get an estimated delivery timeframe for your location.
Is the KVH iPhone app included, and what does it do?
The KVH iPhone app is a free companion app available for download. It connects to the IP-enabled ACU via Wi-Fi and lets you check real-time signal strength, switch to secondary satellites, download firmware and software updates to the antenna, and send diagnostic information directly to KVH technical support - all from your smartphone without going below deck.
What voltage is required to power the TracVision UHD7?
The TracVision UHD7 accepts an input voltage range of 10 to 30 volts DC, making it compatible with both standard 12V and 24V marine electrical systems found on a wide variety of vessels.
