Re: [HN7000S] For Sale

This makes me sad, though, I know I should be happy for you. Thanks for all of your help through the years! You are one of the best in this forum.

I could probably use a backup unit, but, if they are going to kick us all off soon (that's what it sounds like), I suspect there's no need.

Ya, Greg, I hope you hang around! I know I never post much, but I read a lot and you are a great resource for information for sure! By the way, you can still get service for the HN7000s... and Mexico, Haiti, and other locations are not a problem... Cuba is a no no though! The service is more expensive than the old "residential plans" that were available until March 20th of this year, but we set them up monthly service accounts for people every day for HN7000s! I did find out today that we may have a hard time getting parts for the HN7000s systems from now on though! Still waiting to hear more on that though!

I've actually helped a few folks in Cuba set up Ku-accounts. It's legal is you're USMilitary on Gitmo, but apparently illegal elsewhere

I heard HNS got into some trouble recently over Cuba recently, in fact they've shut off several HN7000s accounts they found were being used in Cuba over the past few months that we had originally setup for customers for U.S. sites! And they pretty much forcing us into sending them all of the original account requests and everything so they can follow up on it!

So, needless to say, if someone even mentions Cuba, we can't / won't help them... just not worth the hassle you know! What's funny though is that HughesNet says they don't support use in Mexico either, but a few months ago when they decided to stop using AMC6, they sent us a list of some of our accounts that they had discovered were at locations in Mexico and simply suggested we move them to another satellite so they won't lose service! Never a dull moment with HughesNet!

there are several diplomatic embassies in Cuba that have legitimate sites too.
