Charles. I have an HN7000S and have set up in campgrounds in NY. I just posted an ad here, paid 1800.00 asking 500.00. I could not find this on EBay but then I am not that avid on the PC. Tim

Are you looking for an HN7000S, I want to find a home for mine?

HELLO. I wish I found this group when we were traveling and using our satelite system. We are back home and trying to sell our system. It is an H7000S. Dealing with HughesNet is just too difficult with a portable unit they do not comprehend "portable". ggrrr. Not sure what to sell it for as we paid 1800. I still have everything and was using it up until last fall. Thinking 500? and sharing the shipping costs? Can anyone help me find a new home for this? 315-845-8919 Tim and Carol
