TracVision M3-DX System Overview

The TracVision M3-DX is a state-of-the-are, actively stabilized antenna system that delivers live satellite TV to your mobile audio/video entertainment system. A basic system is illustrated below.

System Components


The TracVision M3-DX system includes the following components:
  • The TracVision M3-DX antenna uses integrated DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) 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 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 push-buttons and LCD display.
What is DVB?
The Digital Video Broadcasting Project (DVB) is an industry-led consortium of over 270 broadcasters, manufacturers, network operators, software developers, regulatory bodies and others in over 35 countries committed to designing open technical standards for the global delivery of digital television and data services. Services using DVB standards are available on every continent with more than 220 million DVB receivers deployed.

DISH Network configuration
Other than a satellite TV receiver, no additional components are necessary to receive both high-definition (HD) and standard-definition programming from three DISH network satellites: 119, 110, and either 61 or 129 (choose the third satellite for your particular region. The TracVision M3-DX antenna will automatically switch between these three satellites as necessary as you change channels using the primary receiver’s remote.

DIRECTV Configuration
You can receive DIRECTV programming from the 101 and 119 satellites without any special equipment. All you need is a DIRECTV receiver. The TracVision M3-DX antenna will automatically switch between these two satellites as necessary as you change channels using the primary receiver’s remote.

ExpressVu Configuration
Other than a satellite TV receiver, no additional components are needed to receive both high-definition (HD) and standard-definition programming from ExpressVu’s 91 and 82 satellites. The TracVision M3-DX antenna will automatically switch between these satellites as necessary as you change
