    Where do I point to for HughesNet?

    Either take the training and get certified or get a certified tech out there. Aligning a two way dish is nothing like a C band or FTA. More to it than just pointing to a satellite.

    Starband C-band Dish?

    Bandwidth throttling on Hughes is minor compared to Wildblue. It is only slowed for a day on Hughes. Wildblue is for thirty days. Dealing with starband just sucks. When I am trying to deal with them they treat you like you are lower on the food chain than them.

    Starband C-band Dish?

    Go to Hughes and leave Starband behind. LOL Just joking. Kind of!! Starband needs to step up. I install Hughes, Starband, and Wildblue. If I was choosing I would go with Hughes. It seems to me that it is more stable.

    Dish 1000 on roof

    Call a local retailer!! Not the dish number!! And just because a installer will not mount on the roof does not make him a bad installer. I have been bit by mounting on the roof. I had to turn it into my insurance and then they would not renew me. The wind took the dish off the roof and...

    5 LNB Pole Mount

    You will not be able to go to a hardware store and buy a pole for the mount. Or even a plumbing supply house. Most professions use ID (Inside Diameter) pipe. A 2 inch ID pipe is actually 2 3/8 OD (Outside Diameter)pipe. We had to order all our poles from a cvs systems for the 2 inch OD needed...

    DishNetwork/ Wild Blue Internet service dying again?

    I beg your pardon the pole mount is not in a standard install. The pole alone costs wholesale $35. It is an odd o.d. size. My suggestion is that the home owner set a pole, like 2 inch rigid conduit, where the tech says los is good and then bury your own cable. The dealer should be brought into...

    WildBlue Install

    So why can't they pre assemble part of the dish. Maybe it is because what they do put together is all loose?!? Or maybe saves them lots of money not having to assemble them at factory?!? That is it money!!! I do like the alignment the dish aligns easily.

    WildBlue Install

    The only thing I have to complain about is the dish comes in a million parts. takes longer to assemble the dish than to mount and align.

    Condo/Apartment Cable Lock Box Access

    You techs that unhook cable customers should think of the end users. If the costumers find out that a sat guy unhooked them, they may not want to go to dish because of your bad actions. Instead go to the custumers and conveince them to go to dish. Then they are better off, the cable guys lose...
