VU QUBE 1000 TV

I also have computer alarm cables but have never needed them. I use a small cable lock, designed for a notebook computer to discourage theft. I have figured a way with rope and bungee cords to strap it down to discourage movement. I place my unit on the roof, either locked to the top of the ladder, or up front. I have used the VuQube 1000 for about two years. All the fiddling can be done through the remote. You are absolutely correct about needing to fiddle with the elevation and angle to get the best reception. Take V cube on travels for use if tree canopy, etc so I get clear shot. Much easier than the new King control air dome which is automatic and takes forever to find sat. If I pick it up I mark where legs were sitting and replace it on marks. If not Click Elevation up or down a notch and repeat with LR arrows. Click L and Right and see if signal picks up fast beat.

Start Turn on TV so you can hear signal meter and stand 10 ft at most away. We use Direct TV with it.I have the 1000 and it is so easy.Set it NS by aligning carrying handle to NS direction. The 101 bird is at 144 degrees but you can rotate the VuQube around that area to find it and then fine tune using up/down/left/right to get the strongest signal.Įverything and every transponder should now be available to you.Ĭall the factory.I believe Mike is who you want.tell them your disappointed with the 1000, ask to be upgraded to a automatic stantionary vu-cube.offer to pay for shipping yours to them & see what they say.I think you'll be surprized.but you did'nt hear it from me. Then set the VuQube true North/South orientation and set the elevation to 48 degrees. Typically for DirecTV, you use Satellite 101 and Transponder 19 You only need to set it on one transponder - when that works, they all work. '06 F350 4X4 Lariat CC LB DRW (nice hips) retired '08 Chevy LT 3500 HD 4x4 CC LB DRW (nice hips) Make sure the VuCube is sitting true N and S. Enter the location into a website such as. Find the satellite from your current location. I hope someone out there has developed a sequence to make it easier to lock in the signal. Their instructions are misleading and their verbal instructions are worse. I think that I'll just put a red bow on it and hope someone steals it, after checking my insurance policy. Just hang your arm outside and thru the blinds, somehow. Third, if you dare take the unit inside when leaving your site, you must go thru the entire horrible exercise again.įourth, Calls to Vu Qube elicit only inane answers.įifth, the remote does not connect to the unit thru the metal trailer walls. Just fiddle with transponders, lateral then vertical buttons until you luck out. I can't develop a rational progression of steps to adjust. Second, it takes constant fiddling with lateral and height adjustment buttons to find a signal. No wonder Camping World wouldn't take them back and suggested you must contact the factory in case if issues.įirst, you have to work thru all transponders to find a signal. Just used it several weeks ago for the first time and found the instructions so simple that they don't address the sequence of dialing it in. Since Winegard's unit has hit the market at a similar price, I am frustrated. They did.Īctually, Camping World outsmarted me by now selling this unit for $599.00.

I thought I outsmarted Camping World last year by asking them to match the $699.00 price found on the internet. RV.Net Open Roads Forum: Vu Qube 1000 is a pain to use Open Roads Forum
