VuQube VQ1000 Portable Satellite Dish System

Review

I’ve had my eye on this product since early last year, but at the time I could only afford a manually adjusted portable dish. 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 the batteries installed. Seems the VuQube folks read the reviews too. The VuQube I received did include batteries, but separately packaged apart from the remote. They were Energizer batteries (not some no-name brand), but regardless, I just set them aside and installed a couple brand new Duracells. I simply did not want to waste time with the batteries boxed with the product.

Now, onto my one complaint. If you’ve seen pictures of the VuQube, you might be able to note that the handle is not a “closed” design, meaning you can’t use the handle to loop a typical security cable through. When I use the VuQube on camping trips, I want to set it up and forget about it for the weekend. I sure as heck don’t want to leave a 0 item sitting in my campsite 24 hours a day totally unsecured and I dont want to have to put it away everytime I leave the campsite or go to sleep.

I did come up with a solution. Just below the handle, at the seam between the upper and lower segments of the VuQube, there is a small hole through the base of the handle, no bigger than the diameter of a pencil eraser (if that). I happened to have a spare gun cable lock handy. The gun lock’s cable diameter was just small enough to fit through that hole on the VuQube. I locked the cable lock and now I have a large secured loop which I can loop a regular-sized security cable through (so I can secure it to a picnic table or tree). These gun cable locks can be found at any gun supplier.

Was this product worth 0? A bit steep if you ask me. However, I take several trips a year with my trailer. Each trip, I waste as much as 30-45 minutes setting up the manual dish trying to zero in on the signal. All that time adds up and equates to time wasted in the wild. What I bought with the VuQube is more time. More time to play, to relax, to BBQ, etc. So yes, it’s an investment, but one that I believe will eventually pay off in more free time the long run.

Feature

  • Self-leveling, self-contained, weather resistant satellite dish system
  • Eliminates need to carry a level, tripod, dish and signal meter
  • “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

Overview

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.

Eviant T7-02 7-Inch Handheld LCD TV, Red

Review

The bad news…
I was happy to get this cute little TV and when I first received it, I charged it and then tried to get the channels in and only got a couple of Channels….a little disappointed.

The GOOD NEWS… However, I always say, when all else fails “READ THE INSTRUCTIONS”. Well needless to say, that is EXACTLY what was needed to be done, plus I needed to put on the other supplied antenna on the TV and rescanned for TV stations. I couldn’t believe it, as I got 40+ stations…not all in English though. I got most of the standard stations, the picture is beautiful & crisp and the sound is good for price & size of this cute little TV. I wanted this TV mainly for travel plus camping trips. I have not had a chance to use it for travel yet, but am hopeful that it will work fairly well. I had read somewhere that it had removable batteries and that seems to be incorrect. I was hoping to use removable batteries so I could use rechargeable batteries in the TV while traveling.

Summary….The most important thing about using this TV is to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS and use the other supplied antenna as that is all I needed to do in order to get 40+ channels with excellent picture/sound. It does suggest to scan more than once to get more channels. Also, I found it works better in certain parts of my house….but I have the same with my cordless phones. I could not expect this little TV to do much better and I am pleased with my purchase.

Give this Great Little TV a chance & READ the instructions to make sure you are setting it up properly….you may be pleasantly surprised like I was. :)
