Hi monicakm,
I just noticed this other thread of yours and your latest reply. I've addressed your latest concerns in this thread, so to keep things more tidy and less confusing, let's stick to that thread for any updates on this situation. I'll go ahead and close this one off to new replies.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I suppose I should update this... It stopped doing it. I have no idea why. We had some bad weather here the next day after I posted and lost all connectivity so I had to restart the modem. After that the issue stopped. No clue what the problem was or what caused it.

Although this is technically true, and will most likely drop somewhat as the beams fill up, as well, it will probably be quite some time before this happens. The ES19 has more than double the capacity of the ES17, and it will take a long time before the ES19 reaches anywhere near capacity.

Thank you for the thorough answers, @BirdDog, @Gwalk900, @GabeU, @C0RR0SIVE. And this is why you guys will always be champions, no matter what title the system gives you. I haven't run out of data and had to rely on tokens, I think, since I had Gen3, so I had totally forgotten how they worked, and on Gen4 I've never run out of data so as to go to SmartBrowsing -- I thought SmartBrowsing would kick in first and then tokens. After reading the replies, that of course doesn't make any sense (facepalm!). Now I understand the flow, and I'm relieved that tokens are used as needed but if there's a remainder, it stays on the account. I was concerned they would all disappear like the carryover data from Verizon (it only stays on the account for one cycle and then it's gone). I "used" all of my tokens in the sense that I moved them all to the tokens bucket. By deploy, I meant putting them to work, but of course that's automatic when the data runs out. Big duh in hidnsight!!

This was my first time interacting with the community in conection with a problem, and I'll definitely visit it regularly; looks to be a great place to learn. Gen5 is good so far. With TestMy.net we're seeing 20 Gbps download and 1.4 Gbps upload, a significant improvement versus Gen4. Thanks again, Liz.

Hi Cliff,
It's been a time of a lot of transitions over here, both in the community and with the arrival of Gen 5. We're trying to move as many people off EchoStar 17 to the new satellite to improve service for all. Until then, there's not much more our network engineers can do, they have already performed capacity expansions on multiple beams for those on Gen 4.
Eventually things will settle down and the kinks will be worked out. There's still a lot of work needed behind the scenes just for the community, plus we're also working on other projects to better serve HughesNet subscribers. We trust the long time posters and experts here to educate the community, and hope that newcomers will gain that trust as well. I have hope and confidence, and we'll help them as best we can.

"I do think, though, that they should at least have the description of the site (Customer to Customer Solutions) be a little more visible when one comes to the site. You can see that description as a title of the page by your address bar, but nowhere on the home page itself, unless I'm simply missing it. It's alluded to in the "Announcements", but it should be more plainly visible. " YES! The new dynamic is not very clear as yet. The info on the home page (https://community.hughesnet.com/) is: Welcome to the new and improved HughesNet community! The HughesNet Community is here for you to find answers and ask fellow HughesNet subscribers for help. This is a great opportunity to discuss and share your expertise to enhance your HughesNet experience and that of fellow subscribers. The info is there, but it's a tad vaguely expressed.

@C0RR0SIVE wrote: Topics are more scarce these days as well, plus I have been too busy to be here as much as I once was. You are absolutely right. I imagine the other experts are also busy with life and stuff and have less time to spend here. There's a lot less trolling too, which makes the board much calmer and the posts more infrequent. It's amazing how much the community changed overnight.

I suspect there are minimal differences between the 2000 and 2000w in that respect.

@Liz wrote: You're right, BirdDog. I knew I saw options to Friend or Ignore someone, but I couldn't remember where. Turns out that currently you can see those options when you read someone's PM: These buttons should also be on one's profile so that it's not necessary to send them a PM to see this screen, but I'm not seeing them. I'll check on this too. Sure enough, there it is. Thanks for helping me find Waldo, sure is kind of a hidden feature but at least I know it is there now. Some short messages I don't even click to open it as can read entire text without doing so.

@motobojo wrote: A related question. Is there way to send up a permanent forward on my hughesnet email account ? Yes. Once you're signed into your Hughes.net email, click on the Preferences tab. Once in Preferences, click on Mail. Then go down to "Receiving Messages" and fill in the forwarding address in the "Forward a copy to" box. Also choose whether you want to keep a local copy in your Hughes.net email. I did in the beginning to make sure that everything was forwarding correctly. Once I found out that it was forwarding them properly I checked it so it didn't keep the emails. Then click save. It's worked fine for me. Good luck.

Thanks, Liz. For certain situations that will be very helpful to people. And it's good that you mods can see the edit history so edits that shouldn't be done once replied to can be reverted by you. We all know that kind of edit can cause problems. It's too bad that it can't be set up to have it where a post can't be edited once replied to, but I know different community sites have different options and different rules, so hopefully no one will take advantage of this new ability in the wrong way. But, again, that you guys can see all edits is very good insurance against that. I know the boards are still a work in progress, and with everyone giving their ideas it can end up being a great experience for all. Thanks again.

Started the Nook back up after it had dropped off the network. The page was still open but had to go to the second page to log in and it returned to Tha main page. On my Samsung now. Had to go though the same routine to log in. Will see if it logs me out quickly.

Now this is interesting... My Account > Settings > Video Data Saver... Don't know if that works with HT1x00 units, don't even know if it's functional yet... I also noticed they changed the name of the Hughesnet Status Meter to Usage Meter... I hope in a future version of the "Usage Meter" (Status Meter) we get options to enable/disable that and use the "snooze" feature easily in it, as well as on the mobile app. Would make couch watchers happy if they wanna stream something in 720p with out having to go through logon.
