Woohoo!!!
Just got Satellite television after a long summer without. Our farm is in a valley a few miles from the Canadian border and the only signal I was able to get was a very scratchy hockey game.
Neither of us watch TV much but there are a couple of shows that we both like and now we can get 'em...
Don't know if I would go so far as to call it civilization but it's a start (at something)
heh...
Next on the list (on order and due in a week or two) is high-speed Satellite internet. Right now we have dial-up and the usual connection we get is at 28.8 with an occasional foray into the nose-bleed realm of 31.1
Uploading will be slow with the satellite but downloads are fast and this is the way that most people surf - request a link / download same so it will work out OK except for the occasional photo I post to this or my business web site.
I remember when 2,400 ruled and now 28.8 sucks and is soon to be gone gone gone!!!
