Goodlife is not the uplinker. Contacting them would accomplish nothing
they probably would have no idea what you are talking about.
Possibly you could call NPS and ask them if the X4 HITS channels sends
authorization hits. I have been hoping that somebody that may have a Ku
only setup may see this thread and know if X4 sends hits.
