Background
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 your 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 is called the downlink.
The downlinked satellite signal, quite weak after traveling the 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 signal acquired.
This signal is then amplified and converted by
the LNBf (Lownoise block converter feed) to a signal that is sent via a coaxial cable to the
receiver. Once the signal is transmitted from the Vu Qube to your receiver, you can enjoy all of
your programming in your vehicle just like at home!
The Satellite Broadcast Market is changing and expanding. The information in this
manual was accurate at the time of printing. If the Vu Qube does not operate as shown
