Anybody got satelite TV in their truck?

We use to have the old sat that you had to put up every time you wanted to watch tv but that can be a hastle, so we broke down and got a inmotion sat. It's a wineguard we bought it new online after talking to different sales people over the best brand out on the market. Most of the sales people said that the only real difference in them are the name brand. After searching the Internet for the best deal we bought it and it arrived 3 days later.

We wanted to have it installed by someone dealing in this sort of thing but we had no luck finding anyone that wanted to install it in a big truck nor did they have the brackets to use. So my husband and a friend installed the dish on our truck for about 15.00 in supplies most of that 15.00 went to pay for a fabrication piece that we had they make for a bracket.

After installing it on the truck the rest of the installation is a snap just hook up the gps and run one line to the battery and one line into your truck that goes into your sat. box.
As far as the dish they are set up to use with direct tv and dish network and also comes with hdtv ready.

We have direct tv and as far as your local channels go if they offer local channels in the area you live in then you can get them but if they don't well then you have to fill out a paper (real simple one time deal) that states you are a truck driver and the unit is in a truck along with your vin number. And when they get this paper they will turn on your channels for you, but you have to pay extra for them.

Now if you have direct tv already at home you can get another receiver for 5.99 a month extra charge and that's all you pay, which is a real deal if your spouse is home watching it also.

We have had our dome for a year and a half and never a problem (knock on wood) out of it. I love it and it's nice to be able to watch your favorite shows or catch up on the news and weather when you want.

Installing a VuQube is generally a pretty simple job and most folks are able to pull it off without a hitch. There has been a lot of success with the in-motion systems. They seem to track very well and most always have a crystal clear picture. Just remember to watch the road while you're driving.

Most providers can set customers up with a "spare room" plan for $5 per/mo. For those that don't currently have satellite tv at home to add onto, base rates are around $25 per/mo.

Get a Vue Qube, chaulk the lip with some silicone to keep the dirt out, but leave about one inch for air flow. They work great, and it was worth every penny.
