Andy,
I discussed your situation with Dave and I also talked to someone on my hub
that regularly uses a satellite. He is on hughesnet satellite and he
switched in the last few months to a new bird they have. He was having some
minor problems on the old one but says the new one is working well. I don't
remember if you specified who your provider was? We might see if anyone
else is using the same service that you are and having success.
I would suggest if at all possible that you take your node somewhere that
you can plug into Ethernet not on a satellite and see if it updates. It is
usually not necessary to do every update we put out. Only a few would be
more critical and we always identify that. Missing an update does not mean
you won't get that update later. Updates are cumulative so if you didn't
update in several months you would get all the updates that were published
during that time.
