There are several in NYC, I think one somewhere in NJ, one in Baltimore, and in VA there used to be stores in Gainsville, McLean, DC,  and Arlington. Those are all closed, though, not sure why.    @MarkJFine wrote: Must be fairly recent. I used to go to LA (mostly SaMo) when my daughter lived out there (pre-‘12-ish).

Not sure what you mean when you say you paid for 5G.  There's no such thing.  You pay for a data package of 10, 20, 30, or 50 gigabytes.  The speeds are not guaranteed, so you can see slow speeds dependent on many factors. All of this is openly available on the HN website.    To have speed issues addressed on this community, please follow this procedure: https://community.hughesnet.com/t5/Tech-Support/Think-you-have-slow-speeds/m-p/110034#M74607   deankrahn wrote: I have taken the speed test 4 or 5 times this morning, and every one is between 1.36  and 2.32 for download..

The penalty applies as soon as the service is installed, which for you means 3 days ago.   What speed did you pay for? Speeds are not guaranteed; they are advertised as up to 25 Mbps down / 3 Mbps up, and there are many disclaimers on the site and in the contract.      ... View more

I've had a version of that cake -- the only difference is that, since I can no longer have the real Nutella because of the sugar content,  my wife makes the cake with homemade sugar free Nutella (which she makes also).  The cake is VERY GOOD.  The ground nuts inside the nutella act as a kind of "flour." ...

I recorded a documentary less than 4 months ago.  I don't know why they dropped it, and PlayOn aren't very transparent with anything they do, so we may never know. I'd like to see YT on the list again too, even if I hardly ever record from it.  I also hope they don't drop the channels I use the most; otherwise I'll have a whole bunch of credits and nowhere to use them.   @GabeU wrote: Oh wow.  That's not cool!  Don't get me wrong, I didn't use Youtube very much with PlayOn Cloud, but there are sometimes things on Youtube that you can't find anywhere else.     A few months back I recorded "The Day After" from Youtube because I couldn't find it anywhere else and I hadn't seen it since it originally played on TV and scared the living heck out of everyone.     Hopefully they'll add it back in at some point.     ...

They had YouTube as one of the channels last October. I downloaded a documentary then, and it worked just fine, but maybe they did take it out of the lineup because YT now has its own service.   ... View more

Yep, he's an angry bloke.  Shoves packages into the mailbox even if they do not truly fit. Leaves packages in the rain. Delivers mail only when he's  in the mood.  He does this all over the neighbourhood, and we don't know why, as no one has been mean to him, and in fact, we've all tried to be extra nice. Doesn't work.    Another mail carrier delivers mail on Sundays.  He's very nice, actually. Wish he were the regular one, but he's from a different post office and only works our area for Sunday deliveries.  ... View more

Yes, you have to learn how to use the technology, just like with any technology.  And no, you're not becoming a super tech, you're becoming a savvy user who knows how to get the most out of the technology that's available.    Be thankful that a company wants to sell you broadband in rural areas.  Comcast and others can't be bothered with that.    And you have the choice to move to where the offerings are more to your liking.  Free country, at least at the moment.        usersince2016 wrote: Sounds like we are having to go around our elbows to get somewhere with this...

You don't need a membership for Play On Cloud.  You create a free account, and then you buy recording credits.  Then you record, and they save the recordings for 7 days.  With a membership, they keep the recordings in the cloud forever, so if you'd like to keep them there, you will need to pay a monthly membership.     I don't have a monthly membership.  I record stuff and then download the recordings to my computer and play them on a TV by connecting the computer to the TV via an HDMI cable.  Easy peasy.   To connect your tablet device to a TV, you will need some kind of cable.  Or you can probably cast using Chromecast or Miracast.  ...

Recording from Amazon Prime with PlayOn Cloud works the exact same way as with any of the other channels (Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, etc.).     1. Buy recording credits. It's one credit per recording, no matter the length of the recording, and each credit is about 25 cents (though if you buy in bulk they're less than that) 2. In PlayOn Cloud, find the channel 3. Search for the show 4. Set it to record 5. It will record, without using any data, and will send you a message when it's done 6. Download to a device 7. Unless you pay a monthly membership fee, the recordings stay in the cloud for 7 days and after that they're deleted, so remember to download them within the 7 days. ... View more

If you're so unhappy, why continue to give them money?  You could cancel your account today  and the ETF would likely be less than paying every month until your contract is over.  ... View more

Have a look at Play On Cloud:  https://www.playon.tv/cloud   It records stuff from Hulu, Prime, Netflix, YouTube, and others.   It doesn't use data to record, but you use data when you download the stuff.   You could set it to record at any time, but download during Bonus Bytes.    May also want to consider upgrading to the largest data package of 50GB, but that will need conserving data too.  ...

" report all in the green while at that very moment you cannot connect at all or are getting extremely subpar 256kbps speeds. "   When the dashboard is all green and you are having issues,  it means their side of the equation is working fine and that the signal from the satellite is getting to you fine.  If you experience low speeds and other issues  with a green dashboard, this means the issues are caused by something on your side of the equation, such as high traffic on the beam, or something related your home network, your devices, or your settings.    If you would like speed or other tech issues addressed on this community, start a new thread under Tech Support, and be ready to provide evidence, such as speed tests from Testmy.net.    If the system does not work for you and you have an ISP that works for you, it would make sense to cancel HughesNet and go with your other ISP.      ...

You're welcome, Eva. Glad to be of help.    As for the resolution, go for the smallest number they have listed. Try that first, and if it's really unwatchable, go up to the next number.  If you can stand the lowest resolution, you'd be saving some data.    Keep your eye on the usage monitor, too.  You can download the app for your tablet, or you can look up your usage on this community (it's under My Account at the top).   If data's being eaten up, you may have to tell people to cut the streaming for a while. :)   ...
