I have been ready to take a sledge hammer to my HughesNet receiver. I have done everything I know to get it up since we have returned to central Texas. Nothing I did would get it to "cross polerize".

This morning, without further attempts to get it going, to our amazement, it suddenly started working. This is some kind of internet magic. It was below freezing here last night. Maybe it came in out of the cold.
Stiles,

I took a portable system to Louisianna while doing disaster relief after Katrina. I spent two days trying to get the thing to work to no avail. Turns out Hughes was having issues with their satellite and I didn't know it. All of a sudden it was live!! Anyway, we were able to help a lot of folks with email, FEMA registration, etc.
