1-3 Receiving Satellite TV Signals
Like a satellite dish used at home, the TracVision
antenna needs a clear view of the DIRECTV
®
satellite
to receive satellite TV signals. Consider the three
essentials noted on the following pages to ensure
trouble-free reception.
Satellite Footprint
The DIRECTV satellite is located at a fixed position
above the Earth’s equator and beams TV signals
down to North America. To receive TV signals from
the satellite, you must be located within the satellite’s
coverage area, which encompasses much of the
continental United States and coastal waters. As you
approach the edges of this coverage area, the strength
of the signal degrades, resulting in weaker reception.
