NOTE: 

For details on connecting additional 

receivers, refer to the User’s Guide.

NOTE: 

If the TV has only a coaxial input, 

you will need an RF modulator (KVH
P/N 19-0475).

Do not use a screw-on, push-on, or 
twist-on connector. Low-quality 
connectors will degrade the system 
performance and KVH’s warranty 
does not cover repairs resulting from 
the use of such connectors.
