What does a new connection imply in terms of installation?
A satellite connection is more difficult to set up than a regular wired connection. You cannot self-install the dish antenna. The technician will look for the best place to set it up for it to receive maximum signals and it can be anywhere, from your roof to your yard.
Therefore, if you call customer services for the installation of a new connection, you need to keep in mind all these details. There are cables that you will need to run to attach the modem to the dish outside and any sealing equipment in case of weather issues. You will also have to inform the HughesNet customer services representative if you already have the equipment or are leasing one from the company.
The installation fee is waived if the customer buys the equipment. Before the installation day, make sure that there’s an adult to look over everything. It will take the technicians a few hours to set up everything so make time for the installation day beforehand. It is best to place the dish at least 4.5 feet above the ground and it should not be any higher than 25 feet above the ground. Moreover, make sure that it faces the southern sky.
