Remember the annual family vacation? You all piled into the family vehicle for the long trek to the national parks, the Grand Canyon, or to visit relatives or to attend family reunions. Chances are the car had just barely pulled out of the driveway when a chorus of 'Are we there yet?' was heard from the backseat. Mom tried to keep the kids busy while Dad gripped the steering wheel - white knuckled with teeth gritting.

We may have grown up, but the family vacation is still a tradition filled with both enthusiasm and dread - how to keep everyone entertained during long car trips? Parents end up taking an additional suitcase filled with VCR tapes or DVD's. While that option can be cumbersome but still entertaining, there's an even better choice - TracVision. TracVision gives satellite TV customers the option of taking satellite TV with them on the road. Not only can customers enjoy the same great programming they see at home, but they can also indulge in a variety of satellite music channels.

TracVision is a trim, streamlined satellite option. Standing less than 5' high, this satellite antenna offers customers throughout the continental U.S. clear, crisp satellite TV viewing, all from the car or RV. TracVision works with any in-vehicle video system. It mounts cleanly to the roof of the car, without any separate roof racks or special mounting equipment. Standard TracVision equipment includes the satellite receiver, remote and the antenna.

TracVision offers a sleek, aerodynamic profile that will withstand the rigors of travel, yet continues to offer great satellite TV and radio services. TracVision is available to customers with DirecTV's Total Choice Mobile Package. This package is unique to vehicles, a great choice for family cars, RV's, limousines, or conversion vans.

TracVision is a reasonably priced add-on to existing satellite TV services, or the TracVision mobile package is available as a single service. TracVision can take the pain out of long road trips and bring back the joy of cross-country travel.
