hello all,
i have a question regarding satellite internet service.
i live in mainland mexico, western mexico, in the state of Colima to be precise.

i used to install hughes and starband systems for my clients. i haven't done that in a while since DSL came to this area. but now there's a client that needs internet and the only way is by satellite.
i know starband doesn't work in Mexico any more, any ideas which system will work here? HUGHES? where can i buy the equipment? and also who can activate an account for me so i just have to go and install the system, get signal and that's it!
thanks

Duane,

Typically, you swap a part out, not fix it. We've been doing satellite since

2002 and that has always been the approach.

If you ever come to Tucson, we have lots of used HughesNet equipment:

dishes, radios, modems, and arms.

Take care,

Barb

Thanks for the suggestions, Skip. I left out a few details in the original

post. I should know better, being a retired maintenance man. More info is

always better.

My system shut down a while back. I swapped in one of the entire arms and

still got no connectivity. I then tried the one that's on there now. A

little tweaking the position and it's been working fine since. I guess I

could swap out individual pieces and verify which ones are good/bad, but

that will need to wait for nicer weather. I'd still like to find a place

that could repair them.

I haven't opened up an LNB yet, but I doubt there's much in there. Probably

a few parts that may have critical heat or frequency ratings. The

transmitter shouldn't be too complicated either. I've worked in electronics

for over 45 years, but haven't had much to do with the high frequency stuff

since my USAF radar days.

I'm on my third power supply since 2003, so I now know to check that, under

load, first. Don's tools are definitely in my arsenal.

Hi! I sent a detail response to your private email ... I recommend RTC for
the services and Montana Satellite for new equipment.

We still have some used equipment available.

Take care,
Barb
