M10 RECEIVER DISCLOSURE
This KVH M10 Receiver has been fully tested and confirmed that it is working as a “controller” for the M3 antenna. The Receiver is not active but that does not have any effect on how it receives the signal from the DirecTV Satellite Service.
This Receiver is an MPEG-2 receiver and we are unsure as to whether or not DirecTV will activate this type of receiver – we would ask buyers to do their due diligence to ensure that they will be able to activate this receiver prior to purchase.
Also, due to broadcast changes we anticipate happening in the future by DirecTV, it is possible that the change will render this receiver no longer compatible with DirecTV DSS101. However, in this case, you should still be able to use this M10 receiver as a “controller” for a good working M3 antenna as long as you have an active HR24 or H24 DirecTV receiver on your vessel or RV installed with a KVH PN19-0423 DC block splitter and a SONORA D575 Destacker.
DirecTV service will not be affected by the new broadcasting changes mentioned above if being used with the HR24/H24 receiver. These HR24/H24 receivers are available for purchase and activation from Solid Signal.
TO DOs / Recommendations :
- Make sure the KVH M10 receiver has a good 12V dc source
- Verify that your settings on your Directv sat receiver are set to: 18” round dish type And multiswitch configuration.
** It is HIGHLY recommended that you have up to date Sat receivers. The models needed are
HR24, H24, Due to DirecTV changes in broadcast!
