Gen5 SmartBrowsing?
Does Gen5 have SmartBrowsing like Gen4 did, or are the new, higher FAP speeds taking the place of "SmartBrowsing"?
That doesn't look like it would be a very fun tree to cut down if it is, in fact, in the way.
I know that knowing the elevation of the satellite, but not having the proper tools to show that elevation, can only give a very general idea if the height of the tree would be too much. I sort of guessed with mine, only to find out later that the guess was right.
Here's an idea, though. A person I talked to, who happens to be an installer, suggested that I call the installers to see if they may be in the area before the date of the installation to see if they could stop by to let me know if my tree would be in the way. I didn't do so, but it actually might be advantageous for you to try that.
The number of the installer should be in the email Hughesnet sent you. They may not want to do that, but the guy I talked to suggested that they may want to in order to know what they may have to do when the time comes to do the installation.
It's just an idea.
I am hoping my dad can be here when they are doing the install that way if it needs taken down he can. I don't think it will be too bad to take down, There is nothing in the way just woods and open yard, I believe should be able to just notch and drop it probably in the yard it's pretty much right on the edge of the yard.
Another thing to consider is that look angle is considerably higher than the angle of the dish arm.
