You might try to run QUOTEcom aswell - as it aswell as LOS has a continous
sream you should notice performance loss if there is any.....
quotecom is usually split second faster on MINI´s than my DBC sat - but with
LOS........DBC get ahead for split seconds........
Strange that I have LOS 5-10 seconds delayed, while other only claim 1 second
delay - maybe my ISP or my 28.800 modem ?
