Why is my KVH Industries Satellite TV System signal blocked?
If your KVH Industries Satellite TV System experiences a blocked or degraded satellite signal, it may be due to obstructions from buildings, vessels, or equipment. To resolve this, make sure that the TracVision 4 unit is placed in an optimal location where it has a clear view of the sky.
What to do if my KVH Industries Satellite TV System is not tracking because of vessel turning?
If your KVH Industries Satellite TV System is not tracking properly because the vessel is turning during the initial startup, turn the TracVision 4 off for at least 10 seconds. Then, ensure the vessel is motionless or traveling straight for 60 seconds after you power it back on. This should allow the system to start up correctly.
How to prevent radar interference with my KVH Industries TracVision 4?
Radar units emit energy levels that can overload the antenna of your KVH Industries Satellite TV System. To prevent radar interference, ensure the TracVision 4 unit is placed in an optimal location relative to the radar unit, far enough away to avoid signal overload.
How to check RF connectors on KVH Industries Satellite TV System?
A loose RF connector can reduce the signal quality of your KVH Industries Satellite TV System. Check the cable connections on the Antenna Unit to ensure they are properly tightened.
What happens if KVH Industries TracVision 4 is outside satellite coverage zone?
If your KVH Industries Satellite TV System is outside the satellite coverage zone, the signal quality may degrade as you approach the fringe coverage areas. Refer to your satellite television service manual for information on viable coverage areas.
What to do if EchoStar IRD commissioning issue with KVH Industries Satellite TV System?
If your EchoStar IRD has not been commissioned in several months, it may fail to acquire a satellite signal with your KVH Industries Satellite TV System. Follow the manual satellite acquisition and commissioning procedure outlined in Appendix E to resolve this issue.
Why should I use an active multiswitch for my KVH Industries Satellite TV System?
To connect the TracVision 4 system to multiple IRDs, always use an active multiswitch. Passive multiswitches are not suitable for this purpose.
What to check if no picture on KVH Industries TracVision 4?
If your KVH Industries Satellite TV System is not functional, has no picture on the TV set, shows an intermittent picture for short intervals, works at the dock but not underway, will not find a satellite, or shows a snowy television picture, you should check for a blown fuse, low power, or wiring issues.
What to do if intermittent picture on KVH Industries Satellite TV System?
If your KVH Industries Satellite TV System is not functional, has no picture on the TV set, shows an intermittent picture for short intervals, works at the dock but not underway, will not find a satellite, or shows a snowy television picture, you should check for a blown fuse, low power, or wiring issues.
What to check if KVH Industries Satellite TV System works at dock but not underway?
If your KVH Industries Satellite TV System is not functional, has no picture on the TV set, shows an intermittent picture for short intervals, works at the dock but not underway, will not find a satellite, or shows a snowy television picture, you should check for a blown fuse, low power, or wiring issues.
