Leroy, what dish do you have that wouldn't lock on 110?

L-3 TracVision In motion with DISH service. I spoke with KVH today and they said DISH made a software change which means I need to do the same. $200. Sometimes I wonder about all this electronic business. No one ever advises the customer of what is going on until it quits.. And then in most cases they point fingers the other way. lol Thanks for the help.

All Motosat dishes were affected by the same change, and need updates. The only
charge is to the shipping for the update module back and forth, although they
haven't had enough modules to keep up with this one. Software is posted to their
website, and is updateable from a computer with the proper cable. I have the
cable, so I was going to say that, if you had a Motosat unit, we could take care
of it at RATS. Can't do much for a KVH.

The type of change that was made is one that is likely to be more prevalent over
the next few years on all satellites, so the idea of paying $200 every time it
happens is not appealing!

Yes sir, I understand. My package is bundled with the home. No cable out here. Cheap enough except for the antenna upgrade on the bus. It is interesting that 119 works fine. I am not into that so it's hard for me to understand.

trackvision is a KVH product, not Motosat. If you have Dish you will probably
need an upgrade, if you have DirecTV you do not.

I too have the L-3, TracVision In Motion with Dish Service and recently had the software change about6-7 weeks ago. Everything was working fine but it was not acting right at our last tailgate (wouldn'tlock on a satellite when I changed channels) 2 weekends ago. I will try again this weekend.

Thecompanythat did the software upgrade has stopped putting KVH on RV's and is only servicing (reluctantly) those of us who have it. Hestatedhe's had too many issues withthe KVH systems andcustomers are not happy, which reflects on his business.In his opinion, he believes the RV market is not large enough for KVH to devote proper supportcompared toothermarkets they serve. FWIW.

Thanks for the info. I have not had any problems in the past to speak of. The antenna works well. I think the old saying planned obsolescence is now Upgrades.
