I am looking for something to use at my campsite. I have Direct TV at home with the Gene wireless devices... Will this work for what I am wanting?

As long as you use the "same dish" as your home, you will be fine. I use my home receiver with a 21" Slim-Dish on a tripod and it works fine. You must know what elevation and azimuth to set the dish up on and make SURE it is level. Piece of cake!

If your campground has a water hookup for your camper, this heater will work. I use a garden hose for the connection and have plenty of hot water. I've had mine for over 3 years, using it daily and have had zero problems. Don't let water drip inside the unit and keep an extra set of batteries. You will love this device!

We have a remote camp and use a booster with a candy bar and an outside cell phone yagi antenna, (you put your cell phone on the candy bar). We wanted to be able to do away with the candy bar and purchase the item shown and it did not work. We returned it and went back to the candy bar.

This is not a plug and play device - you need to follow the setup instructions exactly for both radios, routers, and laptop computer - for your specific configuration. It took me a while to get all the settings correct. Much easier if you get it all working in one room, connecting your laptop to each using a direct wired connection to set them up, then test the wireless link and make sure it works, before you start climbing trees. The Engenius support line was helpful with my setup, so I suggest you call them to walk you through the steps or troubleshoot specific issues. Mine worked great between two houses at about 1/2 mile distance - one mounted in a tree, the other placed in a window.

Only if you have a free WiFi hotspot nearby. I use this while traveling in an RV. Most RV Parks provide free WiFi (secured with a code) and I point it at the WiFi hotspot in the RV park for better reception.

I hooked mine up in my motorhome so I have a small antenna I use to boost reception...I just use it to get the local channels (no cable/satellite) wherever we camp at, and so far it has performed well at each campsite provided there are available local channels...you just have to scan for open channels which takes a short while, then you're set....

I do not currently have Direct TV, but it should. The projector comes with a wireless HD transmitter, so as long as you have an HDMI cable to run from the Direct TV receiver to the HD transmitter, I don't know why it wouldn't work. I have used the wireless feature with AT&T; Uverse and with an X-Box 360, and it is fantastic. The only thing plugged into the projector is the power cable. Very happy with the HD picture, even with wireless transmission.

Thank you for the response! Absolutely correct, feed it a wireless signal and you are good to go!

You could use this device, however keep a couple things in mind. This does not have HD in case you need or want that. Also it needs a cable box in order to send a signal to your TV, you could not hook a cable going from the wall to it and transmit to TV. So you may have to "share" it with another tv if you don't have another cable box. We use ours so we can watch tv outside in our spa and its great for that!

I agree. I bought a better antenna and it works as good as any handheld I've had or had experience with. WELL worth the money!

I use this unit only for DVD play back. The antenna needs a newer type of air HDTV hook in unit and I so seldom am in an area where I can't get cable hook-up I just haven't tried other options. gary c

Assuming the camping site offers Internet access, then you can connect the D-Link Router to the Camping WiFi Internet and then connect all your WiFi devices (Tablets, Laptops), including your SIMless phone to the D-Link Router to access the internet. However, I am a camper myself, and have not found any Camping sites which offer WiFi Internet access yet! :)

I live in a long valley. The antenna only worked in one location for us and that was not in the area where we have TV. I live about 10 miles east of San Francisco so many stations should be available. We decided to stay with comcast for now. Wish I could return my Walltenna. Charles

This product could do what you want. As others have noted, it really depends on having a line of sight connection with no trees in the way. The antenna distance above ground will also make a difference, higher = better. Also note you will need a Wi-Fi hub to provide Wi-Fi services at the distant end.

I have a direct tv receiver. The VuQube will operate on either direct tv or dish network. I have set my cube up several times while camping in my RV. It works great, the only problem I have is it will not pick up my local channels.

It sounds like it should work well for you. Trees do not usually present a problem but hills and mountains do. I suggest that you look at tvfool.com which will give you a better idea which stations you could receive from your location.

Wireless genie mini is needed for every additional reception. I did not try it. You can ask your seller to inform you. I think it should be possible. Which does not mean that you or me we would be able to do it without help. Digital is becoming so complex, that you can not imply any general rule of use. I would advise you to be prudent.
