info with hughes PES

[vassho]

Im not sure if this is where I post for what Im looking for as new to the site

I have a hughes personal earth station GM-6800, this is just the ODU transmitter and lnb.

it looks like the new units on the commerical systems they sell now with the round dish.

I am wondering will this work to set up a direcway system, as though i have been into microwave and satellite equipment from the early 70s

Im not very knowledgeable with hughes equipment except with the old direct pc systems, and GTE known as gilat - straband.

I am on a farm and trying to figure out which way to go, starband, direcway. wildblue is not up and running here even though i have my certificate to install wildblue they are not in service in are areas so thats a no go plus there is unasat which can get pretty pricey .

well to get back on track anyone know anything about the hughes PES i have everything to get up and running if this unit is compatable with direcway and since hughes has now taken over direcway I am figureing it may just do it even though its a older unit the freq etc are the same I am guessing its a 2 watt BUC .

I run both PCs and Macs on the farm which shouldnt make a difference with the DW 6000-7000

any help with this PES would be helpful

Thanks
