Changing Satellite Tracking Parameters
A satellite TV service provider may change a transponder frequency or
other satellite parameters at any time without warning. Since the
antenna uses these parameters to identify and track the satellite, the
TV-Hub allows you to change the tracking parameters of any satellite
in its library.
NOTE: KVH regularly updates the satellite library for service provider
changes. You can download the latest update from the TV-Hub web interface.
See
“Updating the Satellite Library” on page 104
for details. Your local KVH
dealer or distributor will be informed whenever an update is required.
NOTE: You can find satellite information on the web at
(not affiliated with KVH).
To manually edit the tracking parameters of a satellite, follow these
steps:
1.
On the Satellites page of the web interface, click the
(i)
information icon next to the affected satellite.
2.
Make the necessary changes to the tracking parameters. Then
save your changes.
Be sure to set the parameters for each polarization/band. Linear
satellites use four combinations of polarization/band: Horizontal
Low, Horizontal High, Vertical Low, and Vertical High. Circular
satellites use two polarizations in a single band: Right and Left.
Editable tracking parameters for any satellite are listed below.
