KVH’s TracVision M3ST voted best in Marine Entertainment category by U.S. marine electronics dealers!
KVH Satellite TV Antennas Still the Best with 11th Consecutive NMEA Industry Award!
This will continue to be the norm for some time. KVH’s Ring of Fire technology for 14”-diameter mobile satellite receivers providing Excellent! TV reception aboard “Boats and Yachts” even as small as 25 feet. The new M3ST and M3DX receivers are “Easy to install, reliable, and cost effective, and best of all, our customers love ‘em!”
So what is the difference? The M3ST receives Digital TV with unsurpassed tracking and acquisition in all sea states. The M3DX is the same size and has the same great tracking at sea. The difference is the M3DX is capable of receiving Ku band satellite HDTV signals. This means with a box from your satellite service provider you can have outstanding HDTV onboard. KVH offers a multi-service box that allows you to switch between DISH Network, HD DirecTV or, ExpressVu Service.
The Big! Question: which satellite provider should I use. This of course is a personal choice and some research into price and channels available is recommended. However DirecTV is currently planning to move their HDTV service from Ku band satellites to new Ka band satellites. This capability is not built into the M3DX, and thus you would need to switch to Dish Network or ExpressVu Service.
Still it’s hands down KVH according to the National Marine Electronics Association. For great TV or HDTV reception, in motion, at sea, 100-200 miles off shore, easy to use, easy to install. A M3ST or M3DX will be an awesome entertainment investment to enjoy for years. Now there does not have to be a compromise between being “On the Boat” and missing good quality TV or HDTV at home. I’m personally thrilled that the days of getting back in time to get home and see “The Game” are over. Robert Hessler for www.recreationhdps.com
