Dish network changed all of its Left-Hand (LHCP) tracking transponders from QPSK to 8PSK (There are still some active Right-Hand tracking transponders using QPSK), KVH uses both Left Hand (LHCP) and Right Hand (RHCP)to find and lock onto a satellite.
This is where the programming I have above gets interesting. KVH TracVision R4, L3, S3, L2, and S2 can find and track both Dish Network and DirectTV satellites. DirecTV has satellites in the same orbital location as Dish Network with Left-Hand Tracking transponders with QPSK encoding. Essentially, I am telling the KVH antenna to find and lock onto a DirectTV satellite, however the Dish Network receiver is picking up the signal from the Dish Network Satellite in the same orbit.
For the 110 Satellite I am using:
LHCP (QPSK) - DirecTV
RHCP (QPSK) - Dish Network
For the 119 Satellite I am using:
LHCP (QPSK) - DirecTV
RHCP (QPSK) - DirecTV
It's a work around but for many, it means they could get their investment up an running again, that is until DirecTV upgrades their encoding!
