Although the article is quite informative, I find it to be advertisement for EchoStar. How convenient is it to point out that DishNet offers equipment without the circuit. Hmm! I have the RCA DTC100 with DirecTV and have NEVER had them switch HDTV OFF. HD HBO is awesome if you have ever seen it on a real good HDTV Set. If they choke the chicken with this circuit they will cook their goose in regards to my being a customer. I don't think they will do that personally. At least I hope not:-)
OK if you have the lights and the windows, then of course you must put in the hydraulic lifter and shock absorber kit with modified shortened springs so you can post it as "low-rider"!:-)
I've seen these systems before and their latency is just flat horrific. There is an article in Info World written by Tom Yager in their Test Center describing a system called Tachyon. This system is touted as being a resilient 2MB internet service that is setup completely OS independent. Even this system has a 500msec latency which they describe "limits Tachyon's usefulness for interactive protocols such as HTTP and telnet.
