But because it's inside your rig you have to figure out how to run the cables to the receivers. That one cable then goes to a special splitter to break out the 8 channels. The SWM setup uses 1 wire between the sat dish and inside your rig.

The SWM setup can handle 8 connections, but you may have an issue getting a cable to the non-DVR receiver in a different room. The problem will be getting 2 cables to the DVR, you can't split the cable. The 18" oval can accept 4 cables so that will work. So if you put a DVR in the front of your rig and plain jane receiver in the bedroom you will need 3 cables run to the sat dish. If the receiver is also a DVR then that reciever will require 2 cables be run to the sat dish.

Note that with DirecTV you must run a cable from each receiver to the sat dish. If that's the case then the 18" oval should be a snap to hook up. My guess is your external plugs for sat #1 and sat #2 are setup to feed the front and rear TV. They are a bear to align since you can't use the old meters to "find" the sat, and the one wire between the dish and inside the coach could make inside wiring a real disaster. Unless you know how to wire up your receivers to the dish I would stay away from the new SWM dishes. I hate setting it up, but when my roof mounted Slimline Traveler is blocked by trees it's nice to have the option to setup the portable. I bought mine for $25 at a satellite store, they were used dishes from their customers. My backup external sat dish is the 18" oval and it does everything except HD. Is the meter and tripod really worth the extra bucks?

I'm not exactly sure where to find one yet as we've just started looking at this since we didn't like the option available when the Direct TV guy got here. Winegard has a dish with tripod and meter and stuff for about $150. But for now, our money needs to go to pay off our debts so we can travel in a few years. Who knows, it may get to that yet someday.

We aren't "massive" TV watchers, I don't watch sports, we don't get premium movie channels, and thus we deal with mostly standard definition.īoth of you make good points, and if I were a big watcher, the rooftop system would be the way to go. I am not against the cheaper satellite dish on a tripod. I would have let them set up their "package" dish, but I still wanted the option to travel with whatever we get. We are in a position where we will likely be in one place here in OKC for a few years yet, with an occasional trip or vacation. Edited by Terry and Jo on Thursday 2nd of June 2011 01:34:32 PM What do you experts and non-experts think about the Vu-Cube systems? Also, does anyone have an idea of what power requirements would be needed to operate a Vu-Cube? That is why we have elected to look at a more mobile system of antenna. (later purchased by Sun Microsystems) from 1998 to 2002 featuring a modified Red Hat Linux operating system and a proprietary GUI for server management. Would that one be substantially superior to the Model 1000?ĭirect TV showed up with a flat plate to go on the ground that the satellite mast and bracket would attach to and it would take 8 cinder blocks to hold down the flat plate. The Cobalt Qube was a computer server appliance product line, meant as web servers, developed by Cobalt Networks, Inc. Not that we are really interested in getting the next model up (Model 2000 at $799), but it is automatic. Have any of you had experience with that model of Vu-Cube enough to advise us on how well it works with Direct TV, how well it operates with the remote control, and have there been any problems with them. That model comes with a remote control for adjusting the "internals" to lock onto a satellite signal. The VuQube Model VQ2000 Automatic Satellite System is factory pre-set for DIRECTV standard digital programming broadcast from the 101 W satellite. We have looked at and "sort of" liked the Vu-Cube Model 1000 at $599 while researching online. So, now we need to research a simple, NON-HI DEF satellite antenna that is compatible with Direct TV. (It being less than 2 inches in diameter on the mast.) When they arrived, the installer said that their dish would not fit on the tripod that we had purchased. We had scheduled to have Direct TV to come and hook us back up to satellite TV.
