Re: [A/S] 2 Way Satellite Internet



What Brian said about it being a bunch of crap is 
mostly correct.  Nothing could happen to your computer 
if you miss aim the dish.  What could happen is that 
you miss your sat. or that you hit the wrong 
transponder and interfere with another's signal.  It's 
like having a couple of radio stations around you on 
the same freq. where they drown each other out to some 
extent.

As far as "in motion" systems go, that requires a gyro 
stabilized dish with real time signal sensing for dish 
adjustment.  Read as "Big Money."

Portable systems are available through a number of 
different companies, but DTV hasn't gotten up to speed 
on some of this stuff yet.  Try Winegard.  They are 
into this sort of thing pretty heavy.

Hope this helps a little.
