In some larger truck stops, you may see various entertainment options like VuQube, a truck-mounted satellite antenna system.
The name is obviously a different spelling of the words “ViewCube” – which is an indication of what the product provides.
The photo here shows a display at a truck stop for this system.
You can see at a glance the size of the unit mounted on top of the display.
Let’s take a closer look…
It is not possible to tell from this photo of the dome on top of a truck mounting bracket which model of VuQube this is.
At one time, the manufacturer’s website showed 3 models specifically mentioned as being for trucks: V10, V20 and V30.(1)
There was also quite a difference in the price.
The photo shown here is a close-up of the display providing details about the “Mobile Satellite TV Antenna System.”
This product is advertised as: going from “Drive Time to Show Time in No Time”; having easy installation; and a mounting system that “fits most trucks.”
The sign gives details under these bullet points:
The Better Antenna
Installs in Minutes
Fast Acquisition of Signal
Works with Existing Subscription.
