Hi Andy,

I have used the same Hughes 9101 terminal on both systems.

The polarisation is different - one is LH circular and the other one RH 
circular

There is a big screwhead slot thingie on the back of the flat plate antenna 
in the lid which you have to change over...

Subjectively the Thuraya system seemed faster but needed a higher S meter 
reading than when using the Inmarsat satellites.

Hope this helps
