Carroll:

I can't comment on Signal, except to say friends that live near me that also
trade for a living have used Signal and since switched to BMI satellite feed,
which I currently use. I am about to switch to FutureSource, not out of any
dis-satisfaction with BMI, but because I am opening a seperate office in
downtown Chicago where BMI satellite is not available and I want to maintain
only one feed.

That being said, my experiences with BMI have been positive. The few times I had
problems, tech support had me up and running very quickly. I use a larger dish
than most people, but then, I am usually careful about such things and tend to
use overkill. 

I hope that gives you some peace of mind.
