If the signal actually reached my house reliably, it might work okay for receiving web data — but there’s no way other than dialup for me to tell it what to send. A system like that would work, and in fact that’s how TiVo used to operate in the late 1990s, same goes for pay per view over small dish. Dunno how it works now.
Thanks for the ping, and a Happy New Year 2014 to you.
As for me, I subscribe to the DISH, dumped cable a few years ago..
