Re: Get a refund?
Netflix is about the only tv service we could get to work with our connection. Pandora will also work. The main reason I switched to HughesNet is because the sales person told me that I would have no troubles streaming LIVE tv with the service. I won't deny that I'm getting the speeds I should, the main service that I wanted to use with it will not work whether it's connected with a Ethernet cable directly to the modem or with the wi fi. I've tried every thing possible. Streaming live tv with SlingTv or Hulu or DirectTvnow will not work. same with browsing, if you use a device connected with an Ethernet cable it will slow everything else down. Forget able streaming music while you check your email, only if you have the day to do it.5.4KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Get a refund?
Tried that. Every device in the house was powered down except the Roku which we were trying to use for the SlingTv. No good, still would buffer and freeze every minute or so with speeds that ranged in the 25-40 Mbps range. Hulu was the same situation, freeze every 15 seconds and actually shut the Roku down, and would need to reboot it, SlingTv also did this. Only app that would work on the Roku was Netflix. Both SlingTv and Hulu were set to medium settings for resolution to save on bandwidth and speeds, No good. The fact that we can barely use two devices at a time to simply browse the web at our fastest speeds doesn't please me either. HughesNet has been a huge dissappointment and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Thanks for the reply.5.4KViews1like4CommentsGet a refund?
Anyone know how to get a refund and out from under this awful service. I signed up for HughesNet because the sales person told me that it would be more then enough to run Slingtv or Hulu. Wrong. Hulu buffers every 10 seconds, Slingtv buffered every minute. It was enough for me to give up and go back to dish network to have tv again. God for bid you should want to use two devices at once, feels like we're back on dial up service. Yes, I've talked with customer service three times and everyone says it's working as it should, do this, reset this, power down this. I'm tired of this troubleshooting that doesn't work. I read a review that said if you can get dsl where you live to do that and stay away from HughesNet, I should have listened to that review. Extremely disappointed with this and looking for a way out. HughesNet is by far the worse financial desicion of my life.5.4KViews0likes6Comments
