If you each create a new post in the Tech Support section regarding your data issue, we may be able to figure out what it is that is eating through all of your data.
With that said, two data eaters are things updating or using the cloud and a connected satellite TV receiver (especially a DirecTV receiver). With the updates and cloud you can adjust each device's settings, and with the satellite TV receiver it's best to sever its connection, as there's no way to control its data usage. Even when a satellite TV receiver is off it's not really off, but in standby, and still connected and using data for various things.

For chrissakes, Ithe only reason I'm stuck with HN is BECAUSE it's bundled (no other options) with DirectTV! And you say to disconnect??!! What am I supposed to use, two tin cans and a length of string?
Connecting HughesNet to your DirecTV receiver is neither required, nor recommended, and the two services work just fine on their own.

Can someone explain to me how to "DISCONNECT" my Directtv DVR from my network? I have searched endlessly through the on screen menus and short of shutting down my modem temporarily so that it loses the signal and it would probably reconnect automatically, I have no idea how to get this done.
Thanks in advance.
there are 2 ways, and depending on what wireless solution you have you can block the i/p address via the admin process of the router or what'i've done in the past is to change the i/p address on the DirectTV DVR to some phony address of the wifi router
