Newly released portable dome unit satellite TV dishes are now
available. Basically the manufacturers have taken their highly success
roof dome dishes and repackaged them to be in an enclosed module.
These domes can be permanently mounted on a vehicle, like an
semi-tractor truck. Or they can be placed on the ground.
This is an advantage of the portable domes over fixed mounted roof
dishes. With extra cable, the portable dome dishes can be
placed where a clear line-of-sight to the satellite can be
accomplished. This is sometime difficult with the fixed
mounted roof dish when the tress are in the way. The coax
signal cable extension is easy. The extension of the power
cable may take some extra work.
These portable domes are just like the roof domes and only have a
single LNBF which has two LNBs and can drive two coax signal cables.
This means they can only lock onto one satellite at a time but they
can select different channels from that satellite.

The VuCube
from King is a family of portable version of the Kingdom roof
dishes.
The models of the VuCube range from a simple remote control design
which lets you setup the dish while inside your RV to fully
automatic units that set themselves up, to fully automatic units
that can be used while traveling down the road by tracking the
satellites. |
