Non-Standard Installation

Installations with cable in excess of 150 feet from the HughesNet dish to the HughesNet receiver and/or requiring additional drops or hardware are classified as non-standard installs. Locations that fit this category are typically high-rise buildings and possibly located in cities such as New York, Chicago, San Francisco, etc.
