I've been using DTN with ts2k since last spring with absolutely no problems
concerning the DTN service. The satellite dish and DTN's box are a snap to
set up. The quotes are exactly or a second or two delayed from what my
broker has and the tick counts are way more than what I see posted here from
some other data vendors. Also, I haven't experienced and service outages
from DTN either. Any "outages" were caused by ts2k and even these have been
considerably reduced as of SP3.
The only problems came from ts2k interfacing with the DTN box. A high speed
serial port is a must to get the maximum transfer rate (460KB) between the
DTN box, the PC's serial port and Global Server. You can check here for a
better serial port:

If you're using SP3, then any lag time between the time the symbol is added
to Global Server and receiving a current quote has been corrected. This was
not a problem with DTN. It was a problem with the way Global Server
passively sent information to the DTN box.

Hi guys. I've used DTN SAT for the 2 months with miserable results.
My
30-day trial has expired but I'm still getting the hell out. The
main
problem is the lag. Service says its bridge and they working on it.
When
will it be fixed? We don't know. This has been going on for over a
week.
Unless you have a second source for real time data you wont even
know that
you are getting screwed. I guess get what we pay for, cheap service.

Hi Fred,
Yes with DTN , you get real time data. They are good quality for a
good
price : only 140 $ a month depending on the type of exchange
you ask. (it was about 500 to 600 for pc quote satellite)
Furthermore, at DTN, they ask you nothing for the installation and
they
give you 30 days to try (At Pc quote , they was asking 2500 $ for
installation.). Their Hot Line, (of DTN) are good quality service.
I just had to pay the cost of the shipement only if I kept the
system for
more than 30 days. I had to buy separatly a fast serial port(80
dollars) to
be in connection with receiver box. I did my installation myself ,
it was
not complicated , but you have to make sure that you have the room
(4by 4
feets minimum) and the orientation for the antenna.(SW if you are on
the
east coast)
The speed of the connection between the receiver box and the
computer is 460
000.
But , be carreful Fred, because, you can't get the news if the
global server
of omega, receive the tick data . For the moment, DTN , propose the
Cameleon, which get the news and the data, but not the global server
of
Omega. Omega did not finish this development part.
I am using DTN only for the tick. You can't share the serial port on
two
software, but DTN propose a development kit if it was necessary .

Thanks for the info. I expect to be moving from BMI-cable TS 4.0 to
DTN-SAT/TS2K. The main reason for this is to get more current real
time options, tick and tiki reports, mostly the options data. Do
you
have any experience in these areas? I understand that the I-net
version of DTN, because of the lower bandwidth of the data stream,
will have more data stripped out during busy times than the
satillite
version.
