Satellite AND Portable Automatic Satellite Antenna

VuQube Flex VQ2100 Portable Automatic Satellite Antenna
I have been a full time rv`er for almost 10 years. Setting up satellite dishes is something that I have had to do since I started, including the ones for internet coverage. I have been trying to simplify life on the road and this antenna does that. Set it down where it can see the sky in the direction of the satellite, put the handle somewhat to the north, go inside in push the power and scan buttons and in a little bit ...TV. So far after 2 months all is good.

Satellite AND Outdoor Electric Antenna for Digital HDTV Futura

GE 24769 Outdoor Electric Antenna for Digital HDTV Futura

This item should be mounted on top of your home or on a long pole. A neighbor mounted one on a small pole and receives 20 channels. I mounted mine on a tall pole and after hooking up the cable and pluging it in, I had my TV digital tv preform a scan and I got 50 plus stations right here in good old Danville, VA. I have been upset at Comcast raising my cable bill each year and telling me that I was getting a deal.
I researched and found that this small gem is perfect for what I wanted. FREE TV! I get NBC,ABC,FOX,CW, ION,3 PBS STATIONS and about ten HD channels that Comcast Digital starter will only provide if you rent their box! I found that Cable on shows can be located on line and I am now hooked on FREE TV! I am going to save my monthly cable bill money for something better!

Be warned that you will need to buy the cable and the pole. Most hardware stores will have the steel pole. Walmart, radio shack, Target or Kmart carry the extra cable. The signal booster is built in and a simple hook up is included. A great investment to save what I am each year now (822. a year)SEE YA DONT WANT TO BE YA CABLE COMPANY!!!

Great!

Satellite and Slimline Automatic Multi-Satellite TV Antenna

I was was replacing an outdated KVH in-motion dome that came on my '04 American Eagle J..with the SK-SWM3 & planned to do the install myself. Well it went like a breeze due to great instructions & that video. I had this baby up & running about 2hrs or less with a fantastic HD picture. Push one button on the Data reciever & up she goes to tune in the 3 birds...same way to retract. Doesn't get any easier than that!!! Thanks Winegard for a very smart & user friendly HD DISH!!!

Amplified HD Digital Outdoor HDTV Antenna

Satellite Amplified HD Digital Outdoor HDTV Antenna with Motorized 360 Degree Rotation, UHF/VHF/FM Radio with Infrared Remote Control

Living in a rural area I am used to getting bad reception from rooftop antennas. Recently I upgraded all of our television sets to 1080p HD versions and decided we also needed to replace our old antenna. After much research, I purchased the WA-2605. The specifications for it seemed quite good. Though I have to admit, I bought it because I liked the way it looked when compared to many of the other antennas listed here on Amazon.

The antenna took less than a week to arrive. It is made out of aluminum and a tough rigid plastic. Assembly was easy requiring only two phillips head screw drivers, a jewelers sized one and a standard size. (You'll need the small jewelers sized screw driver to attach the aluminum flanges to the long aluminum bar.) The only time I looked at the instructions was to make certain I was using the proper screws in the correct holes, total assembly time was less than 15 minutes.

One modification I did have to make was to reduce the interior of the antenna's plastic mount by sanding it in order for it to fit our antenna mast. I used a Dremel with a drum head sanding pad.

So how well does the antenna work?

In a single word outstanding! It not only met my expectations it exceeded them. The quality of the signals I am now able to receive are two to three times better than our older, much larger antenna. I am now pulling in one station that is 140 miles away and another which is 80 miles distant. Our closest local station is 45 miles.

The day I installed it, the antenna got the first major test of its life when we had a storm blow in that was packing winds of 50-60 miles per hour. (We received a half inch of rain in less than 30 minutes.) I expected to find my new antenna at least partially bent out of shape.

Homeworx HW110AN Super Thin Indoor HDTV Antenna

We're transitioning away from cable (we use Netflix, Amazon Prime, Vudu, etc... for all streaming content) so we wanted to find a solution that would provide us local channels. I stumbled across this little bad boy and decided to give it a shot (for the cost, I went ahead an purchased 4). Shipping was SUPER FAST!!! I ordered on a Saturday and had them on Monday.

One drawback - the built in cable is too short. It really doesn't allow you much leeway to work with placement. I had to couple it to a longer cord. I found the higher up I could get the antenna, the less problems I had. You have to play with the placement of the antenna to get the best reception and channels. Right out of the box the antenna found 73 local HD channels (granted, most of the channels we ones that I'd never watch - EVER). The main local channels (NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, KDAF, CW etc.) came in loud and in super HD. Sometimes the picture will pixilate, but it's not terrible.

I attempted to set up a second TV and had much more difficulty in finding a placement that would allow for good reception. Still working on that.

Satellites High Definition Dish

This is a great dish and very easy to install. Came a little scratched up as other people have mentioned. Just cosmetic so not a big deal.

Just a tip on how to make the installation easier. Put a sock over each of the outside two LNBs until you dial in 119 on the center LNB. This will block the other two LNBs from seeing 119 accidently. Otherwise you could mistakenly point the dish in the wrong direction if one of the outer two LNBs sees 119. This happened to me on the first attempt and I could only pick up 119 and 129. It occurred to me that the center LNB was not the one seeing 119. You can use anything to block the two outer LNBs, but a pair of socks makes it really easy. Then remove the socks after 119 is dialed in at its strongest and 110 and 129 should be in the right positions.

Satellite Radio SXPL1V1 Onyx Plus with Vehicle Kit

Decent unit - had a Roady several years ago and was ready to come back to sat radio again. Regular FM radio and Pandora and other internet radio isn't always cutting it for me. Was able to use the existing antenna that I had installed for my Roady which was nice and can use the existing mount, although had to do a little bit of a modification with my Dremel so that the connections could be made, simple fix. Not easy for me to do a manual tune, although it is available as I have found out. Takes a little bit of learning to use it but nothing too hard to understand if you are patient. Only thing I don't like is the subscriptions that Sirius/XM have....they don't let you turn off auto-renew easily (I despise these kinds of things on my bank acct/credit card) and they're alot more expensive now than they were when I had my Roady a few years back. From what I found out, they apparently deleted my account from my previous usage so they have no 'specials' for former users coming back, which makes no sense. With their financial and stock issues, you would think they would give something, even if it is small, to welcome back a former user, but guess they don't want to reward those who have come back to their service....the service side when you talk to someone on the phone I know was never really good and seems they haven't fixed it - hope I don't run into the same problem as the last time when the agents don't understand the word NO. Anyway, we'll see how the next 6 mo goes. If you want a good radio unit, this is a great one, just be ready for any cust service issue that you have to talk to someone as being sub-par

Winegard MP-1 Portable Satellite TV Antenna

This is our second Winegard MP-1 dish (my brother-in-law just had to have our 1st one!)

To say this works well, is an understatement - it is incredibly easy to setup and align, decent fade margin under most conditions, and never gives us the slightest trouble - then, it is incredibly small and the package is perfectly designed for storage (everything, including cables, (even 50' extra) sat alignment meters, sighting compass, (yes I know it comes with one, but I prefer my Suunto sighting compass) and some assorted connectors)

Winegard MP-1 Portable Satellite TV Antenna

When the automatic dish on our RV is blocked, this is a perfect work around (or it could be your ONLY dish for that matter)

There really are no negatives for this small manual dish - If I have to come up with one, it can be a bit "twitchy" for the first time user to set the elevation, but that's a "reach" to find something - azimuth is simply not an issue especially if you use the supplied base (but we seldom use the base) - no skew adjustment to deal with - we also don't use the water "weight" container, haven't needed it - If you do use the "weight down" container, maybe use "VERY DRY" sand in the winter

Price is VERY good in my opinion and the product simply works!

I can hardly believe how well it works!

Satellite Satellite Finder Meter For Directv

I could not line up my DirecTV satellite antennae, so I bought this meter, at a better price than I could find on e-Bay or anywhere else ( by about $35.00!). I still could not get it to work, so I called in a professional installer. It turned out the problem was elsewhere, but I was most impressed with the meter, and so was the technician. He said it worked better than his did, and after fixing the real problem, used mine to line up to the satellite. When I told him what I paid, he said he was going to replace the one he had, and order this one! We had 80 mile an hour winds come through this week, and of course, they blew my antennae off target. Lined it back up in minutes!

Manual Portable Satellite TV Antenna

Bought this for our new travel trailer to use with our second DishTV receiver. Not very easy to find the satellite and of course can only view one satellite at a time. If you want HD, you have to shift locations, and then back to others for different channels. Wished I has saved my money to apply towards a VuQube which will find all satellites on it's own and you only have to change channels and it will find the satellite for you.

Satellite DirecTv 18-Inch Satellite Dish

When setting this up, it is nice to know that this is considered a normal 18" round dish in the Directv satellite setup even though this on is an egg shaped. Then select multi-switch and SWM greys out the normal 18" round on the setup screen.

The bar has a level which makes it easy to plumb.

SiriusXM Satellite Radio XEZ1V1 Onyx EZ Satellite Radio

If you have a subscription to SiriusXM in your car or if you want to listen at home, this is a small unit that picks up satellite radio and plays it through any radio.

1. I play this through a home stereo CD/radio through the auxiliary port. This is an outlet on the back of most stereo systems. Simply connect the cable from this port to the Onxy and select "AUX" to hear satellite stations through your stereo system. You will be controlling the choice of stations on the Onxy unit.

2. If you don't have satellite radio installed in your vehicle, or if you want to share one subscription between two vehicles, you can mount a magnetic antenna on the outside of the car, and play this by connected through the 12v DC "cigarette lighter" outlet in the car or if your car has an "aux" connector to its stereo system, you can use that.

This radio comes in two "flavors"--home kit and car kit. If you want both, you'd have to buy an accessory kit to add home or auto capability to whatever choice you make.

You need a subscription to XMSirius. If you have a subscription for your car, you can add an additional radio for home use. It's an extra subscription charge to also play over the internet on your computer. If you prefer, you could use an internet subscription and play via your Kindle, tablet, phone over Wifi rather than using a radio and a stereo system.

Downsides:

Not easy to change channels in the car, even with presets on the buttons.

If you are using the FM broadcasting method to pick the radio up in your stereo, it's a bit weak in terms of signal.
You have to be right next to the radio and sometimes the "blank" channel you choose will become a broadcast channel as you travel down the road

SiriusXM Satellite Radio XEZ1V1 Onyx EZ Satellite Radio

EZ Satellite Radio with Vehicle Kit

This radio is great, and a welcome replacement from my aging Starmate replay. The problem is that this radio is NOT a Sirius receiver, it is an XM. By activating this receiver to my existing Sirius account (for a $15 activation fee), I lost channels that I already had with my Sirius subscription (Howard Stern, Nascar, Ect.). After an hour wasted wasted with an "account specialist", they told me that XM didn't offer the same package that I had with Sirius BUT they would be happy to "upgrade" my account to their "all access" plan for an additional $3 a month to get back the channels that I was already receiving for a cheaper monthly rate. Absolutely ridiculous! If I had known this Prior to purchasing this radio, I never would have. Don't make the same mistake that I did, if you are already a Sirius subscriber. The problem in my instance was not the Onyx at all, it is SiriusXM extorting their services in a sleazy way.
