If your a owner or manager of a store that sales Hughes net then you need to pay attention to this.
I dont know if you noticed all the out of warranty calls Hughes expects you to keep loosing on. We all signed on to do the in warranty call and we mostly loose money but that just comes with the contract, taking the good with the bad. How long can we keep that up? When a customer is out of warranty Hughes net charges the customer $120 and still expects us to roll a truck for $80 and if we refuse the job we get a charge back. I dont know about you but when a customer is out of warranty they should have to pay the dealer fees. We are here to make money not give away our time on a loosing situation.
I dont know why I'm the only one screaming about this.
Now with all the IA8 tranponder changes, I told HN this satellite does not work for us a long time ago but nothing is done, the Satellite sucks and now Hughesnet expects to once agian take a loss to fix hughesnets mistakes eventhough we warned them.
Hughesnet clames if we ck in and off a job, make notes and they will review and possibly kick us a little more money. Ya know, when a customer is out of warranty my wages are not up for review and nether should yours. I'm told that I'm the only one screaming about this so ether Hughesnet is not telling me the truth or you guys are not paying attention. So get off your butt and start making this a issue before its to late.
I'm a RSI dealer, if you want to complain Call Brian at RSI Idaho 1-800-825-7999. Ask for brian and tell him you cant keep doing this. The more people that complain the better this will work. I dont know who to ask for at P10 but it cant be hard to figure out.
Just think off all the money and time you are loosing because of this.
Tell your boss, your installers, your competitor if we dont all stick together the Hughes Corp greed machine will walk all over us. I have a family to support, how about you.

Gary Kent is the installation manager at P10. I think you are the only one complaining about this. Funny about how you told Hughes about the IA8 satellite also. Last I checked that one was working fine and about 75% of the enterprise installs I do go to that satellite.
I am sure if you call Gary he will gladly hear your complaint and promptly find someone else to cover your area if you have a problem. I welcome you to do this also because it will mean more area for our company.
Its the I love you, but if you screw up or don't like it I'll love the next person just as much philosophy.Sounds to me like you are just a Dealer instead of a Fulfillment company. If I could give you some advice maybe if you are having such a big problem with selling for Hughes and you are really losing money why would you not stop? I have done many things that I have lost money on, but I did not continue to feed the beast.

First off, you're barking up the wrong tree. The distributors don't make the rules, they just abide by them.
Second, If you are doing fullfillment then I'm sorry that it wasn't explained to you that when you get "spoon fed" work FREE, there may be some pain in the butt jobs that go along with it. It's called take the good with the bad when your being spoon fed work.
As Tate said, I'm sure there are other companies willing and ready to take your area for you.
HughesNet is not for everyone. Some love it and others hate it and get out.
It sounds like you may need to re-think the HughesNet program.
Dishstore sells Hughes, but we let hughes contract out the installations

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Didn't see a thread like this so I figured why not start one. This is about natural supplements. If you aren't into supplements, fine, but please let those of us who do want to discuss this discuss it.
The first one I wanted to mention has been a real life changer. I'm 62 and still do all of my own install work at my business....also do all the yard work at the house. A few years ago I started noticing that I was losing my range of movement, it was even getting hard to bend over and lace up my boots. Almost got stuck in an attic because I couldn't get turned around once the work was done. Didn't think much of it and figured with age comes stiffness that was only going to get worse as time went on.
It was then that I stumbled across a video which was discussing rotator cuff tears and why they were to prevalent these days. Turns out, the culprit is a simple deficiency in MANGANESE which is key in keeping your tendons flexible. Most anti-biotics strip your body of any manganese it might have had which is why certain anti-biotics, especially those in the Cipro family. I actually knew a man who had two tendons tear while on that stuff.
Went to Amazon and ordered some manganese. Now it took a while, it wasn't instant, but gradually I have regained all of my flexibility. I can bend over and touch my toes while standing with no pain and putting on my boots is no longer a chore.
Pretty cheap too. The bottle I ordered was a 200 ct for under $13. They said to take double the normal dose for the first month because most people are severely lacking, then go to one a day.

I set up a music server for my brother a few years ago. It's basically a small headless computer but it needs to have a DHCP IP address reserved for it in the router settings. This was easy to do in his DSL router. He's switching to Starlink now and I was wondering if these setting are easily accessible in the Starlink router. I'm pretty sure he will be getting the latest V5 router.

Can you recommend the best to cover all bases. NO BEEPS on certain channels 101w (NEWSMAX ,NEWS NATION), a clock that keeps working STEADY for timed recording ,solid unit with good lifespan. My Amiko died AND my Linkbox has NO Favorites Button and BEEPS on many channels. Picking up 105 west with a NEW SHED IN THE Way with 6 foot Cband ..95 percent quality ...unbelievable.

Can't help but wonder if a worker overlooked checking the harness. I rarely ride a roller coaster anymore but when I do I check the harness myself pretty aggressively.
Can't imagine what the son is going through.

Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home thoughI don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes.

Say, I don't wear socks or shoes in my house either. But for a captain in Star Fleet it looks bad to be walking around the academy with no shoes. Gives off 1960 Hippie vibes.Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home though
You say that like it's a Bad thing or something ...

I'm surprised Walmart hasn't banned this guy from all of their stores. He has been on their CASE the past few months.

Love this guy's channel. Looks like Walmart has thrown in the towel when it comes to conventional car batteries.
I bought a new AGM battery from Walmart about a year ago, it is already needing replacing. I thought about just buying a regular battery but from what I've read, that might not be a smart move. Might check my Forscan program and see if I can change the battery type from AGM.
