1a.: Switch from SatMex5 ?

This morning my service is terrible. My "signal strength" has dropped from about 68 to about 45 and "tweaking" doesn't improve it. So this brings to mind the question - should I attempt to switch to a new satellite before this aging bird finally bites the dust?

It seems to me that if Hughes decides to move me to another bird they are going to want to have someone come to my "house" and make the changes and that will be a hassle to deal with. So I'm thinking maybe it would make sense to try and switch preemptively, even if it costs me a coupla bux.

Anyone have any semi-intelligent thoughts on this subject? Or maybe just some incoherent rants, what the hell!

Scott,

I would get switched now, since Hughes will most likely want to send someone
out to your house ... though you may be able to convince Hughes that you
have an installer as a good friend, who will do the repoint for you.

And, yes, there will be costs involved.

Contact me privately, to discuss further,

Barb
