    HN email

    Has anyone found a workaround for people who get a new HN9000 system, replacing an older sytem, so they do not loose there email address. I have been unsuccessful at finding a solution.

    Last W/B reboot

    Maybe it has something to do with the beam? I haven't done one for a while, but the last few seemed to take forever to provision.

    wb sat dish pole mount location question

    I personally like the 10' length, which gives ~7' height, giving plenty of clearance for mowing around etc.. I use the galv pipe myself, leaving the threaded end up for future adaptation if necessary. For WB, I get the adapters from P-10 and charge $ 15.00 They (RSI) have a WB adapter that is...

    Finally getting Sat - WildBlue or Hughenet?

    Price for the dealer I do work for is ~$217.00 for WB and ~ $446.00 for HN.

    Finally getting Sat - WildBlue or Hughenet?

    The initial cost is different. With HN you own the equipment. With dish you "lease" the equipment. In my opinion you should call a local retailer, not a national web or phone site and get pricing etc. As for WB there base price per mo is 50.00 which I see ~330kbps down. HN starts at 60.00...

    Finally getting Sat - WildBlue or Hughenet?

    I install both, and if it were my money I would also vote HN. I have been very impressed so far with the new Ka system.

    SUPER BUDDY LOCK STATUS W WILD BLUE

    That is my understanding.......I have not yet verified that (my beam has not changed yet).

    SUPER BUDDY LOCK STATUS W WILD BLUE

    My understanding is the beams are changing the way data is transmitted and when they do, the SB will not show lock, but will still show signal strength. I have yet to experience this, but assume that it should be no big deal as I have not seen the SB show signal for any other sat when looking...

    HN7000 and ranging

    Thanks for the reply. The time to/from sat being important because noc knows when to send more packets?? Also I put a lot of 7000s modems in with the 45 watt ps. I asked tech support if that could be the problem, but it wasn't on his list.............:eek:

    HN7000 and ranging

    Has anyone seen this problem? HN7000S on Hor 1 1270, no tx errors while surfing the web including speed tests up and down, but massive ~90 % errors when trying to range/force range. The system takes a long time to finally range (~25 - 30 min). Trying to figure it out, I swapped odu, idu and...

    Will .98 m dish work for HOME account?

    They would still be usefull for DW6000 thru HN7000S systems, just not the new Ka system (HN9000).

    new hughesnet installer

    If you have any excessive drive time even 125 would suck. The problem is if you are doing it for a fullfillment co, they are only being paid 175 in the first place (plus they pay shipping on equip), so there isn't much room to pay a decent wage to a sub/sub.

    TX Code 15

    Yes there was a bulletin put out that some where sent with wrong PS. Also I heard of guys having to rebuild the account to get a system to work.

    new hughesnet installer

    I get paid 150.00 for an HN install using my own parts, truck etc... 75.00 would be a joke even with them supplying the parts.

    How to use DAPT for pointing HN7000

    P-10, RSI, or maybe even ebay. Who is your supplier?

    HN9000 Problem/Fix

    Had a service call yesterday. DTV had done a upgrade ~ two weeks ago and the customer's HN no longer worked. Turned out they had swaped rx/tx in junction box. What confused me was I could not access the customers modem with 192.168.0.1 I was able to access it using 169.254.0.1 The modem...

    HN9000 Problem/Fix

    Have you been having a problem with getting the DAPT to show signal? Mine would often times not show until I rebooted the modem. Yesterday It showed I had been through the sat on the laptop but not the dapt. After rebooting upteen times and still nothing, I tried the spare modem thinking it...

    Pointing Troubles

    My experience was the same as Tate, no signal with wrong polarity. I wonder if this guy is dealing with a Prodeline with the focal point off???

    HN9000 Problem/Fix

    Had another one yesterday that clicking on "Activate Here" link came up with "invalid ESN" and would go no further. I had to completely dump the modem and start over. I had used the spare modem earlier to check low signal levels which apparantly caused the problem. So somewhere in the...

    HN9000 Problem/Fix

    Thought I would start this thread for the new HN system to share problems and causes/fixes to help shorten the learning curve. I had one yesterday that would not go past the probing stage. The signal when pointing was in the 170s, but halfway through provisioning would drop to ~140. After...

    Satellite alignment troubles

    I see a lot of fence posts being used, and if short enough they do work, but I'm of the opinion do it once and do it right, use schedule 40. You might also consider placing your pole so the new system could be mounted in the same location (los 95W) in case you decide to go that route.

    Spaceway 3 "Hughes KA" coverage maps

    Thanks Tate, missed that FSB. I thought the feedhorn only had one position that it could be set. I shall check it out on the next one. Thanks again. Bajadudes, must have spent some time figuring that out, very cool. Your link takes me to a search page??

    Spaceway 3 "Hughes KA" coverage maps

    Tate if someone moves to my area, can I just recommision the modem to their new location without having to notify hughes? Also, I assume you just guess on the postitioning of the squinter on the raven dish for azimuth settings?

    Rant about new HughesNet

    Finally received a Raven dish and as expected much much better. What makes me upset is we had to raise #@$$ with RSI to get it and they said they had them all along. So now I've got a number of POS antennas out their just waiting to fail. In fact I talked with a customer with one I installed...

    Hughes net ?

    IA6 has some issues (they lost some of the transponders). I know it sucks but call hughes, they will either put you on a different transponder or generate a work order to have your dish repointed to a different sat. As for Vontage, my understanding with changes to the sat tx, vontage does...
