TracVision G8 Owner’s Manual - Guide to Technical Information
2.7 Installing Satellites Using
the MCU
The TracVision G8 can track a variety of DVB-compatible and
DSS (DIRECTV) satellites. The system contains a preprogrammed
library of North American, European, and Latin American
satellites. It also has two open slots that you may use to program
two additional satellites of your choice. Table 2-5 lists the possible
satellite pairs in North America and Table 2-6 lists the satellites
that can be programmed in Europe (as long as the paired satellites
are within range of the TracVision antenna). Two of these satellites
may be selected to reside in the system’s active memory as
Satellites A and B. For Latin American systems, either Galaxy_8W
or Galaxy_8E can be selected, but not both.
Any two of the European satellites listed below can be paired together, as
long as the satellites are within range of the antenna:
• Astra1 • Sirius
• Astra2N • Thor
• Astra2S • Arabsat
• Hispasat • Nilesat
• HotbirdWB • Optus_B1
• Hotbird • Optus_B3
The satellites listed in TracVision G8’s preprogrammed satellite
library will be sufficient for most users. However, if you wish to
install one or two satellites that are not in the library, skip to
“Programming User-defined Satellites” on page 45. After configuring
these user-defined satellites, return to the satellite installation
process in “Installing Your Selected Satellites” on page 43.
