I will now timidly ask

My parents live in the deep woods of Maine (northern Maine) and they have satellite. Seems to work fine.

I thought we were behind the times here in Scotland and i have 3mb cable installed.

I have called all the local satellite companies in my area (just one). They tell me I live in area without access (dead zone).

Now, I started thinking (really hurts my mind), and wonder if access means a gyro-synchronous satellite in a geostationary orbit, or some ground antenna network.
I do not know.

My Dad lives right out side of Macon, Georgia and still does not have cable. I acually do Sat Comm. (or use to) for a living. not sure what the "dead zone" they are talking about is but i guess you could be right on the edge of a footprint or something. Anyway...It is kinda the opposite for me. As soon as I get this game I am cancelling my cable modem. They just kept raising rates and rising rates. Comcast has raised the rates $20 in the last 18 months. that is alot to pay when all I do is check e-mail and look at this board. (well ofcourse, I am at work now [:-] )
