Chapter 1 - Introduction
System Components
The TracVision M1 system includes the following components:
The antenna uses integrated DVB technology to
quickly acquire and track the correct satellite,
switch between satellites, and send TV signals to
the interface box. Internal gyros allow the
antenna to track the satellite at all times, even
while you’re on the move!
The multi-service interface box/controller
supplies power to the antenna and delivers
satellite TV signals to your satellite TV
receiver. The interface box also allows you
to set up the system using the pushbuttons
and LCD display.
NOTE: Henceforward, this manual uses the term “interface box” to refer to
the multi-service interface box/controller.

recommends the receiver models shown in the table below. These
receivers have all been validated by KVH to work well with the
