PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Dish 500 Switch

Due to expanding channel lineups, satellite TV services such as DISH 500, ExpressVu, and some DIRECTV packages are broadcasting programming from two satellites. All new KVH TracVision satellite TV systems are fully capable of switching automatically among two or three satellites simply by changing the channel using the remote control when one or two receivers are installed.

However, TracVision owners who subscribe to a two-satellite package AND have a TracVision installation that includes three or more receivers will require KVH's simple one-button TV/SAT Switch to support the satellite switching process. This is due to the use of an active multi-switch in the installation, which blocks the signals from the remote control and receiver from reaching the TracVision antenna.

Current TracVision systems that will require a TV/SAT Switch in this circumstance include the R4SL and R5SL.

Note: The TV/SAT Switch is not compatible with three-satellite services, including DISH Network's DISH 1000. Contact KVH at 1-888-584-4163 for details.
