Do I still need a dial-up modem and telephone line? A: There is no phone line or dial-up data modem required to use your HughesNet service.
Q: If I already have DIRECTV service, do I need to get a new dish for HughesNet? A: Yes. The HughesNet system requires a unique dish in order to send and receive information via satellite. You can add the ability to access DIRECTV programming to the HughesNet dish by purchasing a simple DIRECTV upgrade kit. It is your decision whether to keep your existing DIRECTV dish on your home, or to utilize the one-dish solution from HughesNet. Q: I have DIRECTV already. Will this be on the same bill? Any Special Deals? A: No, you will not be able to receive both services on the same bill. HughesNet is 50% owned by The DIRECTV Group, but is operated as an independent company. At this time, there are no discounts for selecting both services. Q: Why is there a requirement that the HughesNet system be professionally installed? A: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires that trained professionals install any satellite system that both sends and receives signals.
