    I lost my power cord. Can someone look at theirs and tell me the volts and amps so I can pick one up at radio shack. I can't wait for a couple weeks to get one from king controls. Thanks

    I guess I can't help you. I have a Vuqube but it get it's power through the coax from the receiver. My version (bought 2 years ago) has no separate power supply.

    Has anyone seen a "Sprint Version" of the Vucube? This driver had a gray rectangular metal box affixed to their inside handle of the passenger side door. It was Sprint t.v. I wanted to take a pic of it and look it up,but I was afraid the driver would think I was a weirdo...lol. It looked pretty kool,and was about 5x7 " ,very "doable" in a truck and didnt need outside space.

    I have the latest version of vucube. Called the flex. It says it needs no external power supply but on the control panel it has 2 coaxle cables. In and out. Then one more hole that appears to be for a power wire. Called manufacturer and they said it should have come with a power supply wire.

    so, your looking for the receiver power cord and not the cube. LLOL.

    i would think that vuqube would work with both providers. unless it has some type of programmed chip to only work with dish receivers.

    wish they would come down in price. be nice to have some tv about now.

    what's this sprint tv? google has no listing.

    Yes I'm just looking for the power cord. And the model I picked up works with Dish network, Direct tv, And bell tv. But only certain model receivers from those providers. Quite pricy but well worth it.

    And the tailgater is cheaper but it's not automatic. And it doesn't work for direct tv.
