TracVision C3 help
- Posted by: Mikwallace » December 20th, 2022, 12:44 am
- Forum: Electronics & Navigation
I’m learning all the systems on our new”New to Me”, 1998 405 Aft Cabin. Now I’m working on the TV system. There’s a TracVision C3 satellite dish with DirecTV receivers connected on each TV. The TV in the salon has been upgraded to a Vizio 32”, but the TV in the Master Stateroom is OEM. Someone give me a “Primer” on these TracVision systems. I’ve had DirecTV at my house before, so I’m familiar with that setup. I currently have Dish Network at my house and in our RV. The house setup is (obviously) fixed dish. Our RV is not an in motion satellite, but a “ Traveler” satellite dish and works great.
So, I was told by someone the TracVision is too expensive to subscribe to and antiqueted. I Can’t get info from previous owner, but looks to me like it’s a similar setup as I have in the RV? From what I can surmise from KVH website, the C3 satellite is just an in-motion satellite dish that needs either DirecTV or Dish receiver to make a complete system?
Yes, I know I can use one of the connection devices (I.e. Roku, Firestick, Apple TV, etc, etc) to get programming if I have cellular internet. But if I can use the TracVision with my Dish Network receiver, that would be great. I’m aware also that the satellite will not get service under the metal roof of the slip and the satellite receiver/dish will only work on open sky.
Does anyone have experience with the TracVision C3 system?
Thanks!
