2.9 Changing Geographic Location
If you move from Europe to the U.S., or from the U.S. to Europe,
you will need to modify your TracVision L3/S3 system to receive
satellite TV signals in the new geographic area.
To begin receiving satellite signals in the new area, perform the
following steps.
Swap LNBs
To receive the proper satellite signals in the new geographic
location, your TracVision antenna must be equipped with the
appropriate LNB for that location. If moving from Europe to the
U.S., you will need to install a North American-style LNB. If
moving from the U.S. to Europe, you will need to install a
European-style LNB. Table 2-9 lists the part numbers for ordering
these LNB options.
Part Name Part Number
European-style LNB 19-0196
North American-style LNB 19-0056
With the new part, you will receive an easy-to-understand
instruction sheet for swapping the LNBs.
Install New Satellites
When you move to a new area, the list of available satellites
changes. If you’re moving to Europe, you will need to choose a
new satellite pair from the list of available European satellites
(see Table 2-4). If you’re moving to the U.S., you will need to
choose a new satellite pair from the list of available North
American satellites (see Table 2-3). For details on installing these
new satellites, refer to Section 2.5.1, “Installing Your Selected
Satellites.”
Replace the IRD
In order to receive satellite TV service in your new geographic
location, you will need to purchase an IRD designed for that
location. Refer to your satellite TV service provider for more
information.

You may also need to replace your
television when changing
geographic location. In North
America, your TV must support the
NTSC video standard. In Europe,
your TV must support the PAL
video standard.
