TracVision M1

Big fun in a small package with everything you need for DIRECTV.


Miss your home theatre when you’re using your boat? No problem – KVH’s ultra-compact 12.5″ TracVision M1 antenna allows you to enjoy hundreds of channels of high-quality satellite TV programming from DIRECTV while at the dock, sailing, or cruising around the continental U.S. and coastal waters. Plus, it offers higher signal gain than any competing antenna in its class, so you’ll never miss a minute of your favorite shows!

Weighing just 7.5 lbs., the in-motion TracVision M1 is the world’s smallest and lightest satellite TV system for boats. It offers the rock-solid open water tracking and in-motion performance you might expect from a larger antenna, while fitting the sleek exterior design of vessels as small as 20 feet.

Best of all, the TracVision M1’s small size, easy setup, Whisper Drive™ motor technology, and versatile mounting options (including the exclusive M1 Pole Mount) mean you can install it wherever is most convenient for you.

This all-digital satellite TV system connects you to the DIRECTV programming you enjoy. When you choose KVH’s TracVision M1, you’ll get the best shows on H2O!
