TracVision HD7

Watch satellite TV from 3 DIRECTV satellites simultaneously!


This is satellite TV at sea like you’ve never seen before – KVH’s new 24″ TracVision® HD7 antenna is a breakthrough in maritime satellite TV design, bringing high-definition programming from DIRECTV® to your boat or yacht the same way you enjoy it at home. The rugged TracVision HD7 simultaneously tracks DIRECTV’s Ka- and Ku-band satellites enabling use of Digital Video Recorders (DVRs), and offers the best tracking ever from KVH!

Using KVH’s exclusive TriAD™ technology, the TracVision HD7 antenna can receive broadcasts from three DIRECTV satellites at once! These signals are concentrated by the tuned subreflector before reaching KVH’s unique tri-rod dielectric feed, resulting in outstanding reception even as you cruise offshore.

This technology makes it possible for you and your guests to not only watch any channel but also have full DVR support! Now everyone can watch what they want, on whatever TV they want, whenever they want – a great bonus for everyone onboard! Plus, setup and maintenance are a snap with KVH’s new IP-enabled antenna control unit and TracVision iPhone® app.

Add the TracVision HD7’s optional Tri-Americas® LNB and your boat or yacht can travel throughout the Americas and switch seamlessly between services without missing a beat!

There’s a new definition for satellite television at sea and it’scalled the TracVision HD7 from KVH Industries. A breakthrough in maritime satellite TV design, the TracVision HD7 offers you a high-definition TV experience exactly like you enjoy at home. No satellite switching, no delays, no issues with DVRs…just brilliant HDTV and standard-definition TV programming thanks to KVH’s revolutionary TriAD™ technology that simultaneously delivers programming from DIRECTV’s three primary satellites.

Other compact marine DIRECTV HDTV systems force you to watch only one satellite at a time, which means that everyone’s program of choice better be on the same satellite! But with the TracVision HD7, you enjoy complete, uninterrupted access to all of the great TV entertainment offered by DIRECTV’s Ka- and Ku- band satellites at the same time. What does this mean? HDTV at sea with no compromises, now and in the future. You, your family, and your friends can watch whatever you want, when you want, on whatever TV you want, because TracVision HD7 tracks all three satellites at once, just like home!

Using a DVR with a satellite TV antenna at sea was always a challenge. What if the channel you wanted to record was being broadcast by a different satellite? Well, that’s never going to be a problem again. Thanks to TracVision HD7’s simultaneous reception of all three primary DIRECTV satellites, your onboard DVRs work exactly the way they do at home so you and your passengers can watch your favorite shows live or recorded.
