WOW ! You paid for it?  No instructions. Sounds like they still haven't 
got their act together.  If it's not to late you might try returning it 
and try Planet Connect for a feed. They have USENET and others.   

Planet Connect also has a much cheaper solution - a 
$450 dish and 20-40 Dollars per month.  I noticed you don't see Pagesat 
ads in Boardwatch magazine anymore. That's because to many Boardwatch Mag 
readers had all kinds of problems -like the one you are having now. 

Planet Connect guys maybe from Tennesse and talk real slow...but they are 
nice and will get you going. Better than a fast talker from the west 
coast who's had magazines refuse their ads. I have never seen a mag 
refuse ads over the companies problems....they must have been real bad.

I have heard other horror stories about pagesat setups. careful
