Re: [Exede] 5 gig of usage in two days!

Definitely in no way should you hook your Dish or DirecTv account into your Exede network. I have read too many horror stories about this sucking up bandwidth, and I guess some installers just do this as part of the installation.

The Dish Hopper uses NO measurable bandwidth unless you are streaming video or audio. I have a Hopper hooked up to Exede and it's the only thing I use the Exede for. The only bandwidth used is when I either stream video down or watch video on a remote device via sling.

The DirecTV Genie is a totally different story. It gobbles bandwidth just being plugged in.
