VuQube 2000 noisy

Question

I just purchased a refurbished VuQube 2000. I set it up for the Dish HD Eastern Arc with locals which is 62.5, 72, and 77. Only 62.5 and 72 show on the switch test but I seem to have all channels and HD. My real concern is the fact the the VuCube is extremly loud when searching, making humming and a ratchet like sound. I can hear it inside with the windows and door closed. I spoke with a technician at King Dome who said all VuCubes make noise. I would like to hear from other VuCube owners as to how loud their unit is. Thanks.

I have a Tailgater, which I think is pretty much the same, and you can hardly hear it when you are sitting right next to it - no way you could hear it from inside the rig ....

Mr. Wizard,Different devices but same manufacturer and same basic hardware!  The Tailgater is a King Dome product with specialized software within the VuQube for the Dish only, receiver specific, service.They ARE pretty much mechanically the same.

I also have the 2000 and can hear it inside.  It has been this way for 4 years since it was new.  I kind of like the noise - when it stops I know I should have the channels.
