The VuQube works great with any satellite TV option - including DISH Network®, DIRECTV®, Bell ExpressVu and Free-to-Air receivers.
Satellites used for television signals are 22,300 miles (37,000 km) above the earth’s equator. The purpose of the Vu Qube is to acquire the signal traveling that great distance and transmit the signal to the digital receiver in your vehicle, so you can watch TV anywhere you park.
Satellite television, like other communications relayed by satellite, starts with a transmitting antenna located at an uplink facility on Earth. The uplink dish is pointed toward a specific satellite and the uplinked signals are transmitted. The signal transmitted to the satellite is within a specific frequency range and is received by one of the transponders tuned to that frequency range aboard that satellite. The transponder then transmits the signals back to Earth but at a different frequency band (to avoid interference with the uplink signal). The leg of the signal path from the satellite to the receiving Earth station, in this case the Vu Qube, is called the downlink.
The downlinked satellite signal, quite weak after traveling a great distance is received by the Vu Qube antenna, which reflects the weak signal to a focal point that gets transferred to a feedhorn. The receiving antenna must have a clear view, without obstruction, of the southern sky to maximize the signal acquired. This signal is then amplified and converted by the LNBf (Low-noise block converter feed) to a signal that is sent via a co-axial cable to the receiver. Once the signal is transmitted from the Vu Qube to your receiver, you can enjoy satellite television programming in your vehicle just like at home!
Features
- First mobile satellite antenna built for trucks
- Mounting systems to fit most trucks
- Designed to enable rapid acquisition of signal when truck is parked
- Innovative strength with a small foot-print
- Compatable with most satellite TV services! The Vu Qube works great with any satellite TV option - including DISH Network®, DIRECTV®, Bell ExpressVu and Free-to-Air receivers.
- Not compatible with Starchoice Canadian satellite TV
- Cost-effective
- Single coaxial cable install
- Fast satellite signal acquisition
- User-friendly wireless remote
- VuQube has a single out-put. What this means is that you need to use a SINGLE TUNER receiver. For DISH Network we recommend the 301 or 311 receivers. For DIRECTV, we recommend the D11 or D12 receivers.
- HDTV Compatable: The VuQube CAN receive HD signal with DISH Network. The VuQube CANNOT receive HD signal with DIRECTV. We are busy working on updating the VuQube to receive the new Ka band HD signal from DIRECTV but not there yet. The update for DIRECTV will be a new system and so current VuQubes can not be upgraded. So, what this means is that if you have DIRECTV you will not be able to receive your HD programming.
- Multiple Satellite Programming The VuQube can be used with programming on multiple satellites but it is very important to know that the VuQube “locks-on” to one satellite signal at a time. For multiple satellite programming like DISH 500, you will need to switch between satellites to receive all of your programming. This is easily accomplished following the user instructions but has been reported back by some customers to be a bit slow at times. We are working on improving this interface, but if you have DISH 500 or DISH 1000, switching between satellites will currently take some patience. Remember you can always call us for help!
