The KVH TracVision TV5 is a 45 cm (18-inch) marine satellite television system built for sportfishing boats, cruisers, and vessels that head offshore or to the islands. This North America configuration (MPN 01-0364-07) ships with the Circular Lnb for U.S. circular Ku-band service. Crews keep live programming running whether the boat is anchored or running through chop. KVH engineers the system around inertial-based stabilized tracking, so the dish holds its lock through pitch and roll. For anyone outfitting a helm with full entertainment alongside navigation gear, this unit sits in our satellite antenna lineup as a high-reception option.
KVH's proprietary RingFire dish design drives 30% greater reception than other 45 cm systems in its class, per manufacturer specifications, with an antenna efficiency rated at 48 dBw. The dome stands 53.2 cm tall by 48.8 cm in diameter (21 inches H by 19 inches D) and runs on 10-30 volt DC input. A single coaxial cable carries power, data, and video to the included RG6 run, typically 100 feet. The Ip-enabled TracVision TV-Hub control unit brings Ethernet and built-in Wi-Fi, plus heading and position input through standard marine data protocols. Built-in single-wire multiswitch technology supports up to eight satellite receivers, and the system handles automatic satellite switching across circular and linear Ku-band services worldwide. Advanced motion stabilization keeps reception steady in rough seas.
Run this system on any vessel where the crew expects television the same way they would at home, regardless of sea state. The low elevation angle helps maintain tracking in Northern latitudes, where lower satellite positions challenge smaller domes. Installation runs through a single cable with a built-in setup wizard, and the integrated multiswitch means a full salon of receivers can pull from one antenna. If you are matching this to a larger or smaller dome, compare it against the TracVision TV3 and the TracVision TV6, or browse related mounts and cabling in our antenna hardware section.
That part number specifies the Circular Lnb configuration for North America circular Ku-band service. KVH offers other Lnb variants under different part numbers, including a Tri-Americas circular, a linear universal quad with autoskew and position input, and a linear universal quad manual version, so confirm the configuration matches your service before ordering.
The system supports up to eight satellite receivers through its integrated single-wire multiswitch. Built-in switching technology covers circular service for U.S. providers, linear service worldwide, and automatic satellite switching, so a full salon of viewing positions can pull from a single 45 cm dome.
Yes. KVH builds the TV5 around inertial-based stabilized tracking with high-performance search algorithms and advanced motion stabilization. The low elevation angle also improves tracking in Northern latitudes where satellites sit lower on the horizon, keeping reception steady while the vessel pitches and rolls.
The system runs on 10-30 volt DC input and uses a single coaxial cable to carry power, data, and video between the dome and the TracVision TV-Hub control unit. KVH includes an RG6 coaxial run, typically 100 feet, which simplifies the install on most vessels.
The TV5 uses a larger 45 cm dish with RingFire technology for 30% greater reception than other 45 cm systems in its class. The TV3 carries a smaller dome footprint. Choose the TV5 when you want stronger reception offshore or in Northern waters and have the deck space for the larger dome.
