JH,

I bought the DirecPC (similar to DirecTV but for computers, same outfit - Hughes) for $849 to evaluate it. Initially, I was pretty impressed, but alas, a bit disappointing in performance and cost for delivery of data! I have to admit that a 12Meg download in 20 minutes was nice, like IE4.0, but that cost 12*.80 ($9.60) and I got the CD from MSFT for $4.95, and I can reload it if I lose it!

Thoughts?

Ken

PS - I have DirecTV for the home. Since I take the receiver out in the RV, I have to own the equipment!
