Liz I’m confused about where these state codes are displayed. I don’t see them anywhere in the Hughesnet mobile iOS app. If I go to the self diagnostic tool option and run the test, it always reports “attention needed” but I’m guessing that’s because I have the Hughes modem WiFi radios turned off. I run my own router and WiFi access points. More info about how to obtain these state codes would be helpful. Bruce. ... View more

Yea, I did some more evaluating and it is not every time I open the app and it doesn’t appear to be any obvious problems with performance so it’s most likely just a glitch in the app. ... View more

Great suggestion. I signed up with PlayOn Cloud for a trial service and found it to be a very good solution that gives me unbuffered HD video and by downloading the cloud files at work, saves my data as well. I set up the app on my phone, que’d all my recording to the cloud, downloaded and set up the Playin Cloud Downloader on my work PC and set it up to automatically download to my PC between 12am and 5am so as not to interrupt any business hours. Then I bring my external USB HDD to work and transfer all the downloads to play at home thru the USB on the TV. With this service all you pay is the cost of each download which if you buy their larger packages will only cost 13-20 cents per. Even if I can’t get the downloads from work, you can set up downloads to home overnight and they would be available the next morning. The only downside is you have to plan ahead a few hours or overnight before watching a stream. Thanks GabeU. ... View more

That great this worked for you and maybe it will be a solution for some others. I’m actually running in this configuration and unfortunately didn’t improve anything but it does give me better control of my wired and wireless network. I run wired to my TV where I was streaming video. ... View more

I’ve seen that discussed here and started to look into so options for using the PC based software version. I am considering setting up a home network PC based server that possibly could be used as the recording device and then fed to my Smart TV thru an Ethernet connection. I haven’t figured out if this could be a viable option but any recommendations from the experts here would be much appreciated. ... View more

Thanks for the detailed explanations guys.....that really help me understand what’s going on. When I had ViaSat service I was experiencing buffering because of speed issues (less than .25 down in the evenings GS) which is what made me change to Hughes. While the Hughes speeds are consistently high, I’m assuming my still slow internet performance is mainly a function of this same latency and network congestion that is affecting the streaming. Unfortunately where I’m located, satellite is my only option for now so I will have to learn to tolerate it. Thanks again. ... View more
