Troubleshooting
TracVision® TV-series Quick Start Guide
If you are experiencing a problem with your TracVision system, first check the following:
Does the web interface indicate a problem? Check the status indicators on the Home page and look for an error message.
Can the antenna see the satellite? The antenna needs an unobstructed view of the sky. Common causes of blockage include antenna masts, trees, and bridges. Severe weather can also affect reception.
Is the antenna dome excessively dirty? Wash the exterior of the dome periodically with a mild detergent. Dirt buildup can degrade performance.
