I thought DS was a subscription service. How do you 'patch in' quote.com
data? Is it a manual operation (ugh!)?

I have seen few reports on the data quality of TS6 service. Is it all
transparent and reliable, how does it compare with other data services? TS6
only claims to fill in 1 minute data, the other services can fill in ticks
(though eSignal only for a month or so of back data).
