FAQ
What satellite services does the TracVision TV6 support?
The TracVision TV6 with Circular LNB supports DIRECTV U.S., DIRECTV Latin America, DISH Network, and Bell TV, as well as circular and linear Ku-band services worldwide. It is ideal for North American boaters who also cruise to the Caribbean or Latin America.
How many TVs or receivers can I connect to the TV6?
The built-in Single Wire Multiswitch (SWM-8) in the TracVision TV-Hub supports up to 8 DIRECTV receivers simultaneously. This means every cabin, salon, and cockpit can tune to a different channel at the same time with a single antenna system.
Is the TracVision TV6 hard to install?
KVH designed the TV6 for straightforward installation - a single coaxial cable carries power, data, and video between the dome and the TV-Hub below decks. This greatly simplifies wiring compared to older multi-cable systems and makes retrofitting an existing boat much easier.
Will the TV6 maintain a signal in rough seas?
Yes. The TracVision TV6 uses advanced inertial-based stabilized search and high-performance tracking algorithms to maintain satellite lock even in heavy seas. The RingFire antenna technology also provides a wider signal margin, which further helps in challenging conditions.
How do I control and monitor the system?
The IP-enabled TracVision TV-Hub connects to your onboard network via Ethernet and includes built-in Wi-Fi. You can check system status, adjust settings, and monitor signal information from any smartphone, tablet, smart TV, or laptop - no dedicated control panel required.
