Nice pristine sky.<br /><br />I bet shipping that was a challenge and a half (I see a few dents on the surface). :)<br /><br />I honestly didn't expect the dish to be shrouded by a dome. I suppose that's to protect it from the winds as well as the snow.<br /><br />Is there a technical reason why you can't get faster tx/rx speed, or is it financial reasons, I know a dedicated satellite internet connection can be expensive.<br /><br />Cheers<br />normnormnoreply@blogger.com
