hitest Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Very cool story. I always find it amazing when I want to subsribe to a channel with my satellite TV provider they just add the channel when I'm on the phone, by logging onto the satellite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kailuakid Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 When it hit the local news here (I live about 10 miles from Corvallis) we thought it was funny until it was revealed that the potential fine was Fed-sized. The system works well-a lot of small airplanes disappear in the Pacific NW boonies and wouldn't be found for years,if ever,without it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
