Proud Staff MemberTo be honest the thing that scares me is that dish does not required techs to be certified like WB. With that said its just Hughes net re-branded as dishNet.tell
Ask to see the meter if its not a AI tell them to hit the road.Last edited by wallyhts; 10-14-2012 at 01:07 AM.

I installed my first Dish.Net about a week ago. The install went well, and the service seemed very good after I was done. The install is much easier than exceed in my opinion. Like mentioned above, you just need a good solid mount and a good LOS and you should be good. As for the certification, I had to go through training much like the WB/Exceed training and take a test at the end. The only difference was that I didnt get a tech ID for DishNet like I did WB.

Not sure what meter you are referring to. If it's the AI Turbo S2 from Applied Instruments, that unit is precisely useless on a Jupiter Install. There are only two methods of installing/peaking a Hughesnet Jupiter System, neither of which uses an AI Turbo S2. The installer should have a DAPT2 meter (orange in color - NOT the red one). Otherwise, he also can do an install with NO meter and a wireless router and a smart phone.

It would be cool if Dish Network / Directv came out with a smart phone app for the installers of the satellite tv service.

I'd certainly hope if the Dish techs are installing Hughesnet Jupiter systems, that they would be able to use the Hughesnet app. No app exists for Excede to my knowledge. Originally Posted by Stargazer

I got trained on that Jupiter. And I can tell you a solid mount location is very important. And only solid copper coax is allowed.

And to point out again. Its new, there is a learning curve.It's all about the connectivity!!!
