    OK, Time to rant....sorry!

    I'm not saying that it is. The last I heard it was and this was a few months ago. I havent really been updated since then. So the facts are out there - you guys can let it go now. Really.

    satillite internet

    DirecTV does offer internet via Satellite called Wildblue. This is a KA Band dish and requires a trained technician to install it. It requires a analog meter and APA to tune it in. Because it is a KA band dish, it must be mounted in a secure location - a trimast will NOT work. A pole will have...
