DIRECTV Mobile Receiver/Controller User’s GuideElevation AngleSince TV satellites are located above the equator, theTracVision antenna needs to point toward thesouthern sky to receive satellite TV signals. Inaddition, the antenna must be tilted at the properelevation angle to point at the satellite. The furthersouth you go, the higher the elevation becomes. Forexample, if you’re in the Massachusetts area, the 101satellite is located 33º above the southern horizon.But if you go to Florida, the elevation increases to 50º.While you’re moving, the antenna automaticallyrotates toward the southern sky and tilts to theproper elevation, ensuring you’re always pointed atthe satellite. Elevation ranges of TracVision antennas:Antenna ModelElevation RangeTracVision A7 31°-57°BlockageSince the TracVision antenna must have a clear viewof the DIRECTV satellite to receive satellite TVsignals, anything that stands between the antennaand the satellite can block the signal, resulting in lostreception. Common causes of blockage include trees,buildings, and bridges. Heavy rain, ice, or snow mayalso temporarily interrupt satellite signals.33 ElevationHigher Satellite Elevation = Less Blockage50 ElevationBlocked!TracVision R6 15°-60°TracVision M3 or M2 10°-80°Maps of approximate elevation angles for DIRECTVsatellites are provided in Appendix B on page A.23.1.654-0376
