Title: Relocation of Wild Blue satellite internet.
Post by RichieGC on Mar 24^th, 2009 at 4:08pm

I have a Wild Blue internet system at my winter home in Arizona and would like to take it with me when when I go north for the summer. Will the modem work with another similar Wild Blue dish or will I have to relocate the entire system.Thanks for any assistance, Rick.

Won't work at all if the relocation moves you out from underneath your assigned beam. Your signal is directed to/from that specific spot in Arizona - and nowhere else. I think the average beam radius is ~200 miles from dead center.

That's correct. The modem has to be reprovisioned for the new beam.
