What to do if the vessel turns during KVH Industries TracVision M5/M7 system startup?
Turn off the TracVision M5/M7 system for at least ten seconds. Then turn on the TracVision system, ensuring the vessel is either motionless or traveling in a straight line for the first minute after startup.
Why KVH Industries Satellite TV System has a satellite coverage issue?
To receive TV signals from a satellite, you must be located within that satellite’s unique coverage area.
How does radar interfere with KVH Industries TracVision M5/M7 antenna?
The TracVision M5/M7 antenna must be kept out of line with nearby radars, as their energy levels might overload the antenna’s front-end circuits.
What happens with KVH Industries Satellite TV System cable if the vessel makes several consecutive circles?
If your vessel makes several consecutive circles in the same direction, the system will automatically unwrap the cable by quickly rotating the antenna dish in the opposite direction.
What to do if the KVH Industries Satellite TV System shows 'Channel Not Available' message on TV?
If you see a 'Channel Not Available' message on your TV when using a KVH Industries Satellite TV System, the receiver might be set up incorrectly or defective, or the channel guide may not be fully downloaded. First, check the receiver’s configuration to ensure it is set up for the desired programming. Also, ensure that the receiver has completely downloaded the channel guide.
