with the VuQube or any other Satellite would I need to get a subcription from Direct tv or any other services, and would I need a box from dish etc

You will need a subscription and box to descramble the signial received by the dish.

Yes you will need a receiver to encrypt signal + you will need subscription dtv or dish

If you sign up for direct tv than yes http://www.directv.com/international/filipino. If you do they should be provided a dish and a satellite tuner but there will be a monthly subscription. You won't be able to get signal from actual Filipino satellites.

What you would want to do is look at the actual dish. If there are 3 LNB's on the dish then you will be golden. All you will have to do if run your coax to the open LNB port. You will have your own service plan with your dish and will have access to whatever you are subscribed to.

You have to buy an HD DirectV receiver and an HD dish and purchase HD service from DirecTV.

We have a Directv HD box and it works. We had to call VuQube to get the settings to put the DirecTV HD box on. We left a phone message and they got back with us in about 30 mins. We followed their instructions and bingo it worked. NO channels come in HD but you can see them.

As a standard equipment delivery from DTV depot or equipment suppliers, yes. But for private transaction from a former subscriber, it depends and you have to confirm and clarify.

I have bought this unit, but not installed yet. I contacted Directv, and they will have an installer come to the RV site and set-up. It costs nothing, and I am bringing my receiver from home.

yes, but keep in mind after you connect the box with direct tv, the box doesn't belong to you anymore, you are basically renting it.

Yes you will need a 1 meter dish and a LNB and coaxial cable in addition to the Starcom receiver. If you are not experienced it will be very difficult to aim the dish and set up the receiver. If you are tuned to the 97 degree satellite there will be over 200 channels in many languages.

No, you will own the receiver. DirectTV will charge you $5/month for usage on top of your monthly bill

I use this with my DirecTV setup, so I assume you could do the same with Dish, although I can't speak authoritatively on this matter.

sorry I don't know if it will or not I'm using it with a DirecTV satellite dish

I bought this equipment for my daughter's bedroom but it was not compatible with my DirecTV satellite. You mayhave to call and confirm that the box will work before you buy it. Sorry I cannot give a better answer...

This is only free to air box, you can only see free programming. no account is required, just aim the dish to the satellite, scan the channels, and watch TV.

You need a dish to receive satellite tv. Also, note that Linear needs a larger dish than Circular .. at least 90cm. DirectTV and Dish use circular polarization hence they can use smaller dishes (multi-pathing). You will need a dedicated dish and rotator unless you just want to receive just one satellite, such as PBS. With a 6' dish you can get some C-band with a mini-BUD. Sounds like you have some homework to do but in any event this receiver purchased a year ago now has been very unreliable, even without driving the dish rotator motor. Suggest you google Sadoun Satellite and read .. and watch their videos. Good Luck .. enjoy your challenges and rewards. You need a dish to receive satellite tv.
