FutureSource is a pain to use with TS. They have their own ugly DOS
interface Server instead of using Omega's Server. Their box is bigger. They
took longer to recover from the G4 mess than BMI, and BMI satellite is every
bit as fast as anything out there.
Also, remember FutureSource was not on the list of supported data feeds in
Omega's press release.
And FutureSource is more expensive.
And BMI is just as clean.
And if you wanted to look at a measly delayed quote of some stocks you are
also watching, you can't do it with FutureSource.
Other than that, you may want to look at FutureSource. (But I wouldn't)
