Check out SlingBox if you have a home tv connection and a laptop.

Big are you doing dish or directv?

bigpapa7272 09-13-2008 08:05 PM

vu qube works with both, as i understand

only three things i don't like about vuqube is
1st is the $700 ($629 if you find it now sale) just for the dish.
2nd is the lag time when you channel surf going from one sat to the other like the old C-BAND 10' dish
3rd will not work with my dvr setup (it can't record) from both sat's at the sametime, like my dish can.

bigpapa7272 09-13-2008 08:36 PM

so ur saying you would be better getting a direct tv dish on a tripod?

check this out http://www.classadrivers.com/phpBB2/...478&highlight= our setup in on page 2-3.

vuqube is find it just will not work with the dvr that i have and if you don't mind the lag time 20-60 secs and i myself i can think of other things i can use the money for.

I bought a new computer for the truck last week (it'll be here on Monday). So, since I went to a regular computer, I needed to get a new monitor as well (I used a 17" display on the laptop before). So, I just got a 22" widescreen LCD. All I can say is "OMG!!!"

At 1440x900 resolution, I can sit 6 feet away from the monitor and read the web page.

Can't wait to put it in the truck.

after the first 2 answer to this question-i'm confused. I drive a FL Columbia with a standard(i guess) pole antenna for the Tv.I have a 15" LCD tv-will I need a different type antenna to pick up the digital broad-cast signal or a converter box-i know the tv is digital.Appreciate any info

A standard antenna will pick up the digital signal. If the tv does not have a digital tuner, you'll need a converter box or a new tv.
