Re: G17 Pointing Qued status Thanks; I cycled thru the other transponders, and the signal strength on them are about the same at ~15. The config file in the modem shows 990 and 1070 DVB-S and 1410 DVB-S2. I manually entered 1370 and signal there is at ~15 also. 990 continues good at 70. Hughes may recommission to a different satellite anyway, but Since the dish is already pointed at G17 I thought I would test it there. I did find a Hughesnet transponder listing as of 8/15/08, but it doesn't show which transponders are DVB-S or DVB-S2 -- Hughesnet DW7000 G17/990 |

Worse yet, the SBC files are quite often long out of date. If you have just ONE of the parameters off (when checking for signal strength), you'll get some red number below 30.
Even the Tier I call center doesn't get the updated parameters in a timely fashion, as I've had to correct them more than once. Sometimes Tier II in Florida has more current parameters, but I've caught them out in the past as well. You have to get to Tier IV and beyond (engineering) before you can actually consider what you're being told as current and accurate.
OR - ask knowledgeable members here what their operational G17 satellite parameters are.
