C A CLASE ANNOUNCES SIGINFICANT REDUCTION IN COST OF MOBILE ENTERTAINMENT SOLUTIONS FOR RV AND MOTORCOACH MARKETS

C A Clase, the UK's leading distributor of land-mobile, static and marine electronics, is pleased to announce a significantly more cost-effective static and in-motion entertainment solution for the recreational vehicle (RV) and motorcoach markets. From the 6th May, the outstanding TracVision R4 and R5, the latest static and in-motion satellite TV antenna systems from KVH, can be used in conjunction with the brand new digital satellite TV service, Freesat to deliver subscription free, popular entertainment whilst on the road.

Launched this May, Freesat is a joint BBC and ITV satellite TV service offering free digital TV, radio, interactive TV and HD TV programmes to approximately 98% of the UK population at the cost of a one-off payment for a digital box, satellite dish and installation. By using a TracVision R4 or R5 TV antenna with a Freesat digital box RV owners can benefit from over 80 channels of great entertainment including films, music, news, lifestyle, travel and children's programmes without any monthly subscriptions or complicated packages to choose from. Providing owners have HD TV sets they can enjoy superb resolution, unmatched picture quality and incredible sound.

The TracVision R5, which hit the UK market in February, is the new fully automatic in-motion satellite TV antenna system with integrated DVB technology. The system measures and compensates for the motion of the vehicle thanks to an active, gyro-stabilised design providing dynamic, fully automatic satellite tracking that enables the antenna to acquire and maintain a lock on the satellite, allowing users to enjoy seamless reception on the move. Housed in a low profile, impact resistant dome, which also protects the antenna against the weather, the maintenance free TracVision R5 offers reliable and easy access DVB satellite transmission signals over 51 dBW EIRP.




 

A modern alternative to 'fold-down' units, the TracVision R4 is an automatic, domed satellite TV antenna system which provides access to DVB compliant TV satellites throughout Europe within their range. Designed for use when the vehicle is stationary, the built in DVB® decoder provides fast yet positive satellite identification and tuning. The TracVision R4 antenna is housed in a weatherproof dome, which negates the need to stow the system when traveling, providing an easier, more convenient solution.

The TracVision R4 and R5 are competitively priced at £1299 inc VAT and £1899 inc VAT respectively. Freesat is available from several well known high street shops and retails at £49.00 inc VAT.

Based in Hampshire, C A Clase is the sole distributor of KVH product range in the UK. For further information visit www.caclase.co.uk or for more information about Freesat see www.freesat.co.uk.
