TracVision G6 Technical Manual
Satellite Library
Your TracVision G6 includes a pre-programmed satellite library
of European, North American, and Latin American satellite
services. When configuring the TracVision G6, you may choose a
pair of satellites from the library to be active in the system and
with your IRD. For the antenna to track and receive signals from
two satellites, they must be within 10º longitude of each other in
orbit. As a result, certain satellites can be paired only with certain
other satellites. Tables 1-1 and 1-2 list the possible satellite pairs
that may be selected in North America and Europe. In Latin
America, the system can track either Galaxy8W or Galaxy8E to
receive DIRECTV Latin America service (Latin American LNB
required). If the satellite service you wish to receive is not already in
the “satellite library,” you may also add two additional satellites of
your choice to the library.
TracVision G6’s default satellite
pairs are:
N. America (US DIRECTV):
DSS_101 & DSS_119
Europe: Astra 1 & Hotbird WB
L. America (DIRECTV LA):
Galaxy 8W & None
