Avoiding Blockage
Since satellites are located 22,300 miles (35,900 km) above the equator,
the TracVision antenna must have a clear view of the sky to receive
satellite TV signals. Anything that stands between the antenna and the
satellite can block the signal, resulting in lost reception. Common
causes of blockage include the following:
• Trees, buildings, and bridges
• Other vessels docked alongside your vessel
• Onboard masts, antennas, or other structures
Severe weather conditions or excessive dirt on the radome can also
affect reception.
