Around here. We have a lot of problems with deer,cattle, horses and goats hitting the dish. For some reason deer jump up at the radio.. I've witnessed it. Guess they think it some kind of food. Cattle and horses and goats. That's a placement issue. But not much can be done about the deer.

Better the 90% of our jobs are roof mounts. We just can't do Tile or metal roofs.

I install for Hughes. This is how I feel about it. If the line of sight was good. I would use the Wild blue pole if it was done right. Do you really want to see Dishes and poles all over your yard. If there was NLOS. then yes. I would put in a new pole. At the time of install it has to pass OVT. Onsite validation tool. It gets a average signal level in that area at the time of install.. You must meet or exceed that to go ahead. If it does not pass OVT we do not get paid. So at the time of install.. It passed. Hughes guarantees Line of site for 6 months after install. On the spotty service.. That is on you for not calling in for the last 5 years to get it fixed. There could be something else wrong with your service. But since there is No line of site now.. He couldn't tell. In this area we have a lot of Redwood trees.. They grow and average of 4 to 6 ft every year.. When I install in these areas.. I try to get at least a few years of growth for the customer. But that is not always possible.

They finally allowed me to upgrade my showroom account to Gen5. Going to have some fun playing with this.. I can't play with customers accounts. Don't want to screw anything up.

First try a different Lan cable. It kind of sounds like it is shorting out the WIFI. When this happens can you get into the modem and get into the WIFI settings. ?

I'm a Installer. I can help out a little. First off on the Networking hookup. We connect two devices. Usually computer and a phone. We show you how to to do it. Anything farther is subject to charges. On the poll.. I check to make sure it was concreted in.. And that it is not rusted out and that it can not spin. For the cabling.. I make sure it is copper coax. Not copper clad. If it is.. Then I replace it. And make sure the system is properly grounded. Coax doesn't really go bad..

You can only save one setting at a time. Change what you want click save. Then go to the next setting change and click save.

I'm a Installer. I can help you little bit. I can't help you on pricing. Currently, The HT1100 modem will not work on Gen5. At the end of the year they are supposed to offer Gen5 plans on your current system. The HT2000W modems WIFI can be disabled. And you can use your own. Hope this helps a little.

You do have to have a repoint. And the Modem will have have to be swapped again. Something about the SBC file on J1 is not compatable with J2. Even thou it is the same modem.

I don't see any advantage to doing that. If you are leasing. Then you have to send back your modem and radio. If you do the upgrade. The installer will take back the modem for you.

Sorry, I'm Dan. Just a installer. Dave is the owner of Southbay satellite. But I do agree. CSAT'S should be across the board. I'm on the phone now with a installer out of Fresno. Came into our area on a self Gen and can't figure out what he is doing wrong.. He currently has 5 hours on this job. I think I finally figured out what he is doing wrong..

A lot of local dealers are not authorized to do fulfilment work. Fulfilment work is what comes from Hughesnet. A local dealer can only install what they sell. And nobody can sell upgrades unless it is a upgrade from a 9000 system.

Has for the installer. Look for Gold or Silver pins on his lanyard or name badge. They give out a Gold or Silver pin every quarter. So four times a year. They have given away pins for the last 5 quarters. I have 5 gold pins. But I only keep one on my name badge at a time.. They give them out for number of completions and customer feedback ratings.

We can not do upgrades from Gen 4 to gen 5 either. Only Spaceway to Gen5. Hughesnet wants to control. How many and where the upgrades happen.. That is a good thing.

It went really smooth. I installed the customer around 2 1/2 years ago.. He was happy with Gen4 He moved and was offered the upgrade.. I installed him today to all new Gen5. He could not believe how much faster it was.. I'm not going to get into specifics of speed. But it was well above the 25 and 3.

We are running one of the J2 tests beams. I can say that the ping rate is a little better on J2. Then on J1. But still not in the area for gaming.

At the very end of this road is a gate. I did a house about three miles in for Hughesnet. It is one of the largest cattle ranches in Calif..
