This message comes to you from Mulege and DirecWay
I installed the set-up here at home myself without any problems, and it's been working fine now for three years. I bought everything in Chula Vista.
You still do have to find and pay for an official Direcway installer even though he never sees your equipment because he has to assign you a satellite
and set up billing. He first put me on satellite #99 but it won't work in the Mulege area, so he had to get me on #117. One more thing, muy
importante...if you contact "just any" DirecWay installer and say you are living in Mexico, they will turn you down. They say they do not have Mexico
approval to operate here. So just what does one do then...there is an official DirecWay installer in TJ who knows how to play the game. You give him
a US billing address and a location where this will be...ahumm.. set up. His name is Fabian- falr@starband.net . He even now told me he can set
you up using a credit card and put all the equipment you need on the bus to Mulege so you don't even need to go north.

Dish size
Hola Elizabeth...do you know what size dish you are using? Most in La Paz use a meter sized dish, but some use the 76 cm (30 in). Any idea? Thanks.
