I am just curious: I am thinking about cutting the cord on Dish Network in April. We upgraded to the 30 gig plan from the 20 gig on or around the 22nd and were now at 66%.. :( But, that ...
GabeU Well, I got it working again by unplugging the modem, waiting 30 sec and then plugging the modem back in.
I got 2 epsiodes downloaded to my phone and then transfered them to a USB stick just to see if the tv will pick up on the USB stick
and it did, I turned the tv off, plugged the stick in and then turned the tv back on and it popped up something about Roku player ( The tv has ROKU built into it ) detected a USB stick and did I want to use Roku player to play the media? And I hit yes.
But now, I just tried to download another epsiode.. And the wifi has took a CRAP... Alexa is saying she's having trouble connecting to the internet AGAIN!!!!! :smileyfrustrated:
GabeUI figured out on my own how to convert my account and I am currently doing a test download to see if its going to work. And so far its working even though i'm out of data.
So I am keeping my fingers crossed that this is gonna stick.
But I really wished someone from Hughes would check my equipment because thats weird that an app could just cause a modem to go nuts.
Thanks for reaching out! I was able to take a look into the equipment, and at least from what I'm seeing, things on the account seem normal. Please let us know if the issue persists after Gabe's advice, and we will be able to figure out a plan of attack from there!
I don't know why you're having problems with your WiFi disconnecting. When it does, the only thing I could suggest is exactly what you did, which is to power cycle the modem. Perhaps one of the reps can run diagnostics on your HughesNet equipment to make sure nothing looks amiss.
Did the items you downloaded and your Ruku recognized play okay?
It will ask you to sign in, but that's where I download my recordings from while using my computer.
Also, when you get an email that your recording has completed, it should look similar to this (not this particular movie, of course)...
When you click on Download it should take you to that same page with your recordings that I linked to above, and from there you can download each item by clicking on the download icon/button to the left of the entry.
GabeUWell you can rule out that its the PlayOn account thats causing the issue because I just got home from a doctors office * haha shameless plug* and I was able to download 5 epsiodes of a show to my phone.
Its got to be the Hughes equipment.
As to signing in to that link, when I click sign "in with Facebook" :
