It sat terms I don't think you have a 'digital' signal, the data is digital over an analogue signal (maybe sort of??) Anyway you still get a signal strength that goes up and down as you point to/away from the sat., but you need a strong signal to get a good digital reception. Isn't this the same as ADSL? My phone line is not digital. Take with large dose of salt as I really don't know what I am talking about, but it sounds good! :-) -- 'ooroo stinga...(:)-) --------------------------------------------------- Email: stinga@xxxxxxxxxxxxx o You need only two tools. o ///// A hammer and duct tape.
