In Topic: HughesNet Question!

I don't think you can actually control your modcod or rate code.  The modem (hn7000s dvb-s2 enabled) adjusts these based on weather conditions to ensure the best signal quality, both send and receive.  

You might be able to temporarily change your rate code by force ranging, but the modem will just adjust it again if it thinks it needs to.

Not sure if force ranging affects the modcod at all since this is your receive rate.  But even if it does, again I don't think you can keep the modem from adjusting it.

I believe 9/10 is the best you can get.  It's never seemed to help me though.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Adaptive Coding.

Here are a few linux tweaks.

I think these represent most of the tweaks you can do to a linux machine.  Depending on your linux kernel version, it basically tunes itself, with a little help from you.

I think that Wildblue is far superior to Hughesnet and I would encourage as many Hughesnet customers to switch as soon as possible.  Especially if you are on IA6/G26 transponder 1433...Switch Now!! Switch Now!! and stop using up all my bandwidth.

Hell yeah. All they do is lie like an ex-old lady.  :angry5: Best start dogging them now. They never put out a new system that works right off of the bat. And once they get the bugs worked out, then they want to start a new problem all over again. And they keep taking our money for equipment to pay for the new stuff.  :angry: One pile of crap after another.

You seem to have a keen insight to the Satellite business model.  Were you a consultant for Hughes?  Rack'em, Pack'em, Stack'em!!!

Ahhh Hughes, gotta love the confidence they inspire.  Spaceway 3 isn't even off the ground and people are already dogging it.
