Yeah, that’s the web page the tech guy gets into when he’s here. He said the signal is among the worst he’s ever seen, when he’s been out here. But has no idea what the problem is.

Robert: I doubt I have exceeded anything. I don’t download more than 50MB of files in any given 24 hours.

“He said the signal is among the worst he’s ever seen”

Well that’s your problem!

I have the same service, THEIR IDIOTS!

I do the dish my self.
My little secret, If you don’t mind getting on the roof:

Works beautifully!

Otherwise call a local professional (not Hughes)
to come out and properly aim your dish.
If it is off by 1 degree you get poor signal that varies
from 70% to 0 buy atmospheric conditions.

By the way, if you call them and get your case elevated
they may reimburse you for a real installer come out.

If your system has an average signal level of 60, you will experience constant outages.

You should have an average signal strength of 75.

The satellite industry considers 70 as the minimum signal level for all transponders.
