Product Description
The true power of the VuQube Satellite Antenna is its portability and simple one person set-up. The VuQube antenna is self contained in a weather resistant enclosure. It requires no assembly or installation, just place the VuQube on the ground, in the back of your pick-up, on a picnic table or anywhere there is a clear view of the southern sky. Once positioned, run a single coaxial cable (provided with purchase) from the satellite receiver to the VuQube and use a wireless remote to move the motorized antenna dish inside the VuQube until you lock on to a signal.

- "Fastfind" RF remote with 50 ft To 100 ft range allows for simple 1 person set up and can reduce signal acquisition times to 5 - 10 minutes
- Resistant to signal loss due to high winds or rain
- Compatible with DIRECTV, Dish Network, Bell ExpressVu, and free-to-air satellite providers

| 47 of 47 people found the following review helpful  The damned thing really works!, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: VuQube VQ1000 Portable Satellite Dish System (Electronics) When I ordered this device, I suspected that I had once again thrown perfectly "good money" down the drain. Within a scant five minutes after hooking the supplied RG-6 cable to my satellite receiver and loading the supplied batteries into the simple, exquisitely and intuitively designed remote, I was tuned magnificently to my favorite channel, the Food Network, in the palmetto-clad depths of a remote sea-side campground in the low-country of South Carolina!No more pinched fingers from unruly tripods. No more cajoling and begging my truculent wife of 47 years to deign to say those magic words, "We got a picture!" ... after the ritualistic 30-45 minutes of my fiddlin' and tweakin' to find just that right combination of elevation, disc-levellin' and azimuth-findin' required to configure my old dish apparati. My only complaint: this thing won't feed a second receiver in my 5th wheel camper. I really don't miss the inability to pick up HD channels since the...

So over the course of the year, I've fought tooth and nail with trying to zero in on the satellite signal, sometimes with no luck at all. All of the other reviews raving this product are correct: Within 15 minutes of removing the VuQube from the box, I had my DirecTv up and running. Now that the Qube has the general satellite position stored in its remote, future setups shouldn't take more than 5 minutes max.My biggest problem with the manual portable dishes is finding a level surface to place it on - not an easy task out in the wild. Without being level, the elevation might be "set" right but physically will be off. The with VuQube, it self levels internally! Gotta love it! Other reviews I have read, like at Camping World, mentioned the batteries in the remote would be found dead on arrival. I guess they actually shipped the remote with... Read more 19 of 19 people found the following review helpful  Great Customer Service from King control, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: VuQube VQ1000 Portable Satellite Dish System (Electronics) I initially had problems setting up the dish and gave them a horrible review with one star.However, after talking to customer service, I determined that the issues were mine and not the dish. After my discussion with tech support, the setup went smoothly and took about 5 minutes. In their instruction manual VuQube recommends using the DirecTV D11 or D12 receiver. If you call tech support you may find that you can use other receivers. The dish works with a DirecTV H20 (high definition receiver). You do not get HD TV since the dish only supports standard definition signals. Tech support called me back after 5 minutes after my initial call. They were extremely fast and very competent. If only all customer support calls were this efficient. |
