KVH will be supplying Fleetwood with its award-winning TracVision satellite TV product family, including the in-motion TracVision R5, the stationary, automatic TracVision R4, and the premier TracVision R6 in-motion satellite TV system, which includes such innovations as a compact 12" high design, electronic dew elimination technology (patents pending), on-screen messaging and diagnostics, and an integrated 12V receiver designed specifically for RV applications. Each of these all-digital systems provide access to more than 300 channels of digital TV programming and commercial-free music via the DIRECTV(R), DISH Network(TM), and ExpressVu services. Each member of the TracVision R-series offer integrated Digital Video Broadcast (DVB(R)) technology for unsurpassed satellite acquisition, identification, and tracking. For greater ease and convenience, advanced control features quickly and automatically switch between satellites simply by changing channels using the remote control, eliminating the need for the manual satellite search required by less sophisticated designs. Fleetwood's selection of KVH's TracVision systems also reflects Fleetwood customers' growing interest in the resolution and quality offered by high-definition TV. All three TracVision systems are fully compatible with the HDTV programming offered by DISH Network as well as on DIRECTV's standard 101(degree)W and 119(degree)W satellites. Fleetwood will also be offering the KVH TracVision HD Converter as an option so that customers will be able to enjoy HDTV programming broadcast by DIRECTV's new 110(degree)W satellite, which uses unique signals that cannot be decoded by other mobile satellite TV antennas.
