Manuel,

I have been told by a HughesNet fulfillment dealer that it would be still
possible to get new HughesNet Ku-band accounts set up. Unfortunately, I have
been waiting for over two weeks now, for the details. A family emergency has
taken the dealer out of town.

I'll post the information, when I finally receive it.

Take care,

Barb

Just to confirm, Could I use my current equipment and just get an US
HughesNet Ku-band account? of course I should pick up a service plan and
point my antenna to Satmex6 as you mentioned,

I'm currently connected to Satmex5 and to fix the current issues my provider
has suggested to change me on Satmex8, I'm not sure if this is going to
change anything but I'll prefer to work with my own installation and US
provider, as Skip recommended it to avoid second providers.

Anyway thanks for the information, I'll check it carefully.

Manuel

Equipment in South Mexico

I was in your situation seven years ago. There are modems and dishes on
E-Bay all the time for a good price. Always ask if the modme has an
outstanding balance before buying it. I suspect you can get set up for $200
to $300 pehaps less if you are patient. I made many errors going through the

learning curve and this forum helped a whole lot. There is a set up
application that Don Bradford wrote which you can get to set up with. I do
it all the time. I bought my last antenna on Craigslist.

Here is my steps.

1. Using a GPS or something like Streets & Trips find your lat-long. It is
illustrated in degrees-minutes or it can be in decimal.
2. Open Don's DSat tool and enter one of them in the the proper box...it can

take both. His tool generates the AZ, EL & SK for antenna pointing. Write
this info down.

3. Plug your modem into the PC and allow Don's DSat tool to set up your
modem.
4.. Before placing the antenna on the tripod set the SK to what you wrote
down.
5. Set the antenna tripod perfectly perpindicular using a small bubble level

on the tripod. This is key IMHO.
6. Point your to the AZ using a compass and set the EL.
7. Navigate to the modem set up page and it's pointing scale and slowly
manuever the AZ and EL to find the signal and peak your signal strenght.
Usually the statellite can be found withing 5 degrees either way fromyour
pointing and the EL will be within a couple degrees of the indicator on the
antenna. This is why plumbing the tripod is important....it makes this step
easier.
8. Get the signal in the green with a strnght above 65.

After this you go through the registration installer on the modem screen
using the SAN from the satellite provider.

For me it took may times setting up to become independent in doing this so,
practice is always good.

Good luck..
