DIRECTV has recently placed Ka band
satellites into service to provide
high-definition local channels to their home
users in select markets. To enable this, DIRECTV
is installing new, larger dishes for their
subscribers to receive the Ka band content as
well as the current Ku band high-definition and
standard-definition programming. KVH and all
mobile satellite antennas support Ku band
reception only due to size constraints and other
technical complexity. As a result KVH cannot
support reception of Ka band high-definition
locals.
