    Hughes Net Pointing Question

    Damn, that hurt. I actually am a satellite installer, but I mostly do vsat systems. I'm just unfamiliar with The Hughes Net system. I knew skew adjustments affects the cross polarization, I just dont know exactly what to expect while cross poling a hughes net system. I do not see any kind of...

    Hughes Net Pointing Question

    Hughes Net Pointing Question

    The account is active, payment has never been late, and balance is zero. So, can I just use a different transponder on SATMEX5 to get this to work, or is it a must to have it on 970_1K? Also, can I call and get this changed to a different transponder that is on my list?

    Hughes Net Pointing Question

    yea, that's what I'm up against. I don't know the satellte my modem is assigned to. When going through my modem, I put in my zip code and it gives me the elevation and azimuth needed, but it never tells me what satellite I am aiming for. Without the satellite name, I don't know which...
