Well, hopefully, the 3d time will be a charm! Yep, that's right ... we went for another trip to hook up with the Datastorm installer and are still coming back inoperational. Only one of the 2 suspect parts were available to replace ours. The second one is now being overnighted to us. So, that (the receive modem) must be the problem, cuz it's still not working. It looks like it's going to work, but just never finds the satellite and locks on to signal. It's certainly not for lack of trying on anyone's part. But, we enjoyed our trip anyway. It is so indescribably scrumptious to be able to travel about and yet always be home. Today we were driving back to Fort Lauderdale from Ft. Myers on the west coast. We pulled over at a rest stop to take a bathroom break and realized that the Dolphin’s were playing our ‘arch-rivals’ Buffalo Bills at 1pm and it was now 1:15 … what the hey! We cranked up the TV antenna, popped the top on a beer and settled in to watch the game. This is the ‘cab over’ part of the RV – we call it the loft. It is the most comfy TV spot I’ve ever had in a home. We don’t have a TV per se … we use our computer projector and project onto an artist’s painting canvas! Add the 6 Bose speakers and we have one heluva home entertainment center!
