MIDDLETOWN – KVH Industries Inc. has brought “pay-as-you-go” satellite television service from DISH Network to marine market customers for the first time.
This program gives seasonal boaters with TracVision satellite television systems flexibility to pay for DISH Network service only when their boat is in the water. There is no charge for starting or stopping monthly service.
With a KVH TracVision satellite TV antenna system onboard, boaters will not be out of range of their favorite programming or local television channels. They can access more than 200 high-definition channels of DISH Network programming anywhere in the country with no contract required; all packages are on a 30-day, month-to-month basis.
To promote the new program, KVH offers the option of a free DISH HD receiver with every TracVision TV-series marine satellite TV antenna system purchased. KVH has four systems – TV1, TV3, TV5, and TV6 – that are compact, ranging in size from 12.5 to 24 inches in diameter, offering superior in-motion performance.
“With the TracVision TV-series, you get HD in a little dome, with the high-performance tracking and satellite acquisition that TracVision customers love. When you add pay-as-you-go, you get the flexibility to pay only when you use the service on your boat. It’s a win-win,” Jim George, KVH director of satellite sales, said in a statement.
For the pay-as-you-go program, KVH is working with Pace International, of Rochester, Minn., an authorized national distributor for DISH.
KVH is a provider of in-motion satellite TV and communications systems, having designed, manufactured and sold more than 175,000 mobile satellite antennas for applications on vessels, vehicles and aircraft. KVH is also a news, music and entertainment content provider to industries including maritime, retail and leisure.
