Since many satelites up there how do you check for all signals for maximum receiption with just one meter? Does is has setting for different satelite

This item did not work well at all. It was tough to determine when it had a signal. Very sketchy. There are no different settings on it. What I did was I had someone inside the house watch the signal on the TV screen. When I got the best signal. I stopped messing with it. It's very hard to use this item.

I have not used that one but using channel master I am getting signals as far as 70 or more miles with also using signal amp. hope this helps.

Not sure how to measure signal gain. It didn't work for me. My experience was intermitent SMS & no or poor voice capability. With or without the device.

Other than the built in dial, I really don't know. I have moved the units location and other radios to be within sight of each other so the signal does not have to go through walls, furniture, etc.

I set my antenna the same night it came. .very simple. I removed my old satellite and set it there. .no adicional equipment. Solid signal and no complaints.

Make sure the receiver you are using is already activated. Point the handle north with a clear view of the southern sky. Hook the coaxial cable from the unit to the "Sat in" on your receiver. Hook your receiver up to a tv. Go to the Sat set up menu on the receiver and find out the azimuth setting based on your current location using your zip code. Set the azimuth on your VuQube's remote then switch to the signal meter in the sat set up menu. Start panning from right to left slowly using the VuQube's remote until you get the strongest signal. Complete setup and your done. You prob won't receive network channels. Make sure the receiver you are using is already activated. Point the handle north with a clear view of the southern sky.

I had the same problem on a trip to Cape Cod, MA. First weakness and in-and-out of satellite reception then nothing. Unit refuses to find the satellites. I suspect a design flaw in the receiver or the antenna connection. I'm am very unhappy with their customer service. They made me register the unit first (I didn't save the yellow piece of paper with the registration code, which is different than the serial number). I am still waiting for an RMA after a week. I did try the update, reset stuff as suggested by customer service and that did not fix it.

Any. It provides as good a signal from all satellites as possible. However, it won't work through dense trees.

Rabbitears.com is much better than some to show where signal is transmitted. I have three towers and several channels are transmitted from each. Only one is transmitted from all three.

I have the devises with 10 meters distance, but from second to first floor and with walls in the way. Because of that, the signal is not perfect and at the begining I had to keep fixing the receivers anthena. If the signal is within the same floor, and/or no or few walls in the way, there should be no problem. 10 meters are about 35-40 feet. There is no need of line of sight. It should work OK because in my case I almost have the devises one over the other in different floors, with stairs and 2 half walls in the way. Finally, if you buy it, the package instrutions do not include the detail of how to sincronize the devices, just have to press the top of the UFO looking thing.

No, the transmitter only sends one signal so all receivers will show same programming.

The digital magic sensor just needs to be plugged in once the dish and wiring are installed. I find it reads about 5 degrees over where the satellites are but it is consistent so easily compensated for. I installed about 2 weeks ago and have not spent more than 2 minutes finding the satellites since. I've set up in 5 different locations in Atlantic Canada. Overall instructions arenot great for install, but it really wasn't hard. Took me 3 hours start to finish with no previous experience.

I have received signal up to 3 km in hilly area. Beyond this, I didn't tested and in plain areas range may be even greater may be up to 5-8 km. Buildings and Trees are enemy to signal and try to keep antenna as up as possible, say on the topmost floor of your building.

Go to www.antennaweb.org and input your address. It will show you the exact signals (stations) you can receive with various antenna types.

Use the Source buttom and scroll to the diagram that looks like a satilite dish. Scroll over to Scan for channels.

Check the LNB rotation. Also, I noticed that for some transponders, changing the LNB frequency gets the quality going.

I would check http://dtv.gov/maps for your area. It matters how many miles you are from the towers that send out the signal.
