2.7 Installing Satellites to Track
TracVision 4 can track a variety of DVB-compatible and DSS
(DIRECTV) satellites. The system contains a preprogrammed
library of North American and European satellites. It also has
two open slots that you may use to program two additional
satellites of your choice. Tables 2-6 and 2-7 provide a grid of
possible satellite pairs. Two of these satellites may be selected to
reside in the system’s active memory as Satellites A and B.
At the factory, the system is programmed to track the following
default satellites:
• Europe: Astra 1 (Sat. A) and Hotbird (Sat. B)
• N. America (US DIRECTV): DSS_101 (Sat. A)
and DSS_119 (Sat. B)
If you wish to track the default satellites, skip to Section 2.8 on
page 36 (European systems only) or Section 2.9 on page 37.
If you wish to track a different satellite (either from the satellite
library or a user-defined satellite), connect to the switchplate’s
maintenance port and enter the appropriate antenna commands,
as described on the following pages.
