supplies
computer
hughesnet service
your modem's I.P address (normally 192.168.0.1)
web browser E.G. explorer, firefox
(I am using the HN9000 modem so yours may be different but should be similar) 

Step 1 Connect to modem

open your web browser in the address bar type 192.168.0.1 or the I.P address for it if it is different. you will see a home page that has a bunch of links and icons at the top. in the gray bar by what do these controls mean there is a little wizard guy click on the wizard.
next click on diagnostics.
next click on satellite loopback connectivity QOS test

I agree with the first commenter. This is not radar. It shows signal quality, but not range, object imaging, or any direction other than the fixed one to the satellite.

If you wanted this topic to be useful, then include a description of EB/NO in a X-Y graph depicting various weather conditions otherwise known as a modem characterization performance graph. (EB/NO = Energy Bit to Noise Floor Ratio.) Or using the QOS from the modem, create a red (bad) vs green (good) variable colored bar graph for signal quality.

This instructable should be renamed "Measure Satellite Signal Quality for different types of weather".

You believe that this works, but does it?
It's not weather-radar, and it's only going to work for weather actually getting inbetween you and the satellite, which you should be able to see anyway if it makes a difference - yes?

Please, please use a spell checker. If you don't speak English, post in your native language by all means. Though I have to believe only a native English speaker could even begin to butcher it this badly.
