Installation Steps
Who Should Install the System?
To ensure a safe and effective installation, KVH recommends that a KVH-authorized technician
install the system. To find a technician near you, please visit www.kvh.com/wheretogetservice.
Linear vs. Circular Systems
The installation process differs, depending on the type of LNB (low noise block) installed in the
antenna (linear or circular). These differences are noted throughout this guide. In general, North
American satellites require a circular LNB, while European satellites require a linear LNB.
