SECTION 2 VUQUBE ANTENNA CONFIGURATION

The VuQube Model VQ2000 Automatic Satellite System is factory pre-set for DIRECTV standard

digital programming broadcast from the 101° W satellite.

If you also receive your local channels from DIRECTV’s 119 satellite or if you subscribe to Dish

Network or ExpressVu programming, you must use the VuQube hand held controller to

re-configure the antenna to work with your satellite service. Doing this will allow the VuQube to

lock on the correct satellites to receive your programming and also enable automatic satellite

switching via the receiver’s remote control for multi-satellite service.

Antenna configuration is a one time procedure that must be completed before using your

VuQube antenna.

ANTENNA CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE

DISH 1000 - HDTV

Dish Network HD programming is broadcast from 4 satellites (61,110,119,129). The 61 and 129

satellites broadcast identical programming. (The 61 is generally stronger in the eastern U.S. and

the 129 in the western U.S.) The map below shows the approximate coverage for each satellite.

Your VuQube antenna can be easily configured to work with two different satellite trios (DISH

1000a: 61,110,119 or DISH 1000: 110,119,129). By choosing the appropriate trio that includes

either the 61 or the 129 satellite based on where you are, you can receive all of your desired

programming.

Configure your antenna for the chosen trio on page 9.

Note: This map is an approximation only. Which trio works best in a given location may differ from

what is indicated on the map.
