Will this type of delivery system ever be reliable? I mean,
cable can get cut, storms, sunspots, a flock of crows, etc
can interfere with your SAT reception but when these
occurrences are remediated or disappear, you're back up
=without= intervention on your behalf (i.e. you need do
=nothing=). With Internet delivery, if the connection to
your ISP gets dropped for whatever reason, don't you have to
manually reconnect to re-establish the feed? Not a big deal
if it occurs while you're sitting in front of your screen
but what about when you're out to lunch, asleep, or
otherwise indisposed?
Best regards,
Jim
