Will DirectWay Satellite Modum work in DR?

if your modem is recent enough you should be able to get on the Hughesnet network. Direcway is history.
Keep in mind that your modem without a Sat antenna is just a useless box. Depending on your location you might need from a small to oversized antenna. I think that the more you go east in DR, the bigger the antenna needs to be.
They are plenty of DR1 members in the sat business that should shortly give you more details on that.

PM or email the poster DunHill. He will give you the correct information.

I have the dish...

I am using the Hughes system here with great success. I just upgraded to the bigger dish though for more speed. I have a .98 meter dish and 2 watt radio/LNB for sale - $300. Itdoesn't include the modem, which I am using with my new dish, but it does include the mounting tripod. I think this was $850 when it was new.

Works Great Here

I don?t know the older Direcway, but I installed and commissioned a HughesNet system in the La Romana area a few months ago. There is a strong signal on the east coast using the PR spot beam. Higuey is probably closer to PR than La Romana.

I would suggest upgrading to the latest HughesNet modem with 0.98m dish and 2W transmitter. Keep your account address in the US and change your installed address to PR, (not DR). Just follow the HughesNet dish pointing and commissioning rules for Puerto Rico, its easy to do yourself, don?t need to be a rocket scientist.
