Have trac vision satellite and need help

[motoring]

Our unit has a TracVision in motion satellite system and no receiver(removed from prior owner along with manuals) - there is a switch box that has lines coming in to two tv's from antennaes and vcr. We have purchased a FTA receiver and would like to install it but unsure as to how to wire it. Can someone give me some help?

From the description, the TracVision will only work for DirectTV. You will not be able to get any FTA programming.

Have had good success programming TracVision using a laptop & serial cable. Attached is a list from their L3 model manual of what is 'pre-programmed' into it and can be selected.

Having said that, you need their box to do the aiming of the sat you programmed it to track. Hook on your FTA receiver and you're good to go.
