Once you have your system assembled and installed in a flat level area, it’s time to proceed with pointing!
You will need to select the EchoStar 19 (E19) Satellite and enter your latitude and longitude of your antenna location (within 35 feet) in order for it to connect and commission properly!
If you do not have a GPS, we recommend an app like GPS Status for your smartphone, tablet, etc.

Pointing a Virgin Islands Satellite Internet HughesNet Gen5 VAR Business Internet Satellite Internet System:
Once you have entered all of the satellite information into the modem, the next page will give you the coordinates for your antenna!
When you have received your SAN and PIN you can run back through the modem’s pointing process and continue on to enter your SAN and PIN, agree to the terms and conditions and bring your system online!
Please be sure to send us your site ID, modem serial number, rate code and date of commissioning once you get your system online! Failure to do so may result in your account being placed on hold until this information is received!
If you have any questions or get stuck in this process, please contact us for information and support!
If you only use your system a few months of the year, you may prefer to pay our $400 contact cancellation fee which will then allow you to suspend it for 6-months, pay the 7th full month of service and then suspend it another 7-months and so on.
If you will not be needing your service for a month or few, simply contact us to suspend your account so that you aren’t paying full price for service when you are not using it!
Cancelling your Virgin Islands Satellite Internet service:
Some people choose to purchase our equipment and services for a temporary period of time! If you only need your system for a month or few, we will do our best to help you sell your equipment to someone else who can take over your account in order to help you avoid the $400 contact cancellation fee! However, we cannot and will not promise that we will be able to do that for you in the timeframe allowed to avoid the $400 cancellation fee!
The $400 early termination fee is charged automatically if and when you cancel your service before the 2-Year agreement is up! If we are unable to collect that $400 payment from you in a timely manner, your modem will be locked and can no longer be used on our network!
It is important to know that we are currently unable to reactivate used equipment, so if you wish to be able to bring your system online again in the future, we encourage you to suspend your account rather than canceling it!
If you have any questions about suspending or canceling your account, please contact us !
