  Thanks Todd,

  I think I downloaded it once when it first came out, and there were still some bugs in it. Then I uninstalled it.

  But I'll think about re-installing it.

  same here - i'll give it another try.

  love to nibble those micey feet.

  Satellite connections sometimes use dial-up for uploads (or any type of "send", such as requesting a web page).  Think about it:  how is your satellite dish going to send information? It is only a receiver of information.  Therefore, I'm not sure it qualifies as "broadband", at least in the strict sense of the word.

  I chose the slowest connection speed they have but it is still 512kb for downloads and 128kb for uploads but phone lines are not connected to the dish or modem in any way. So it can not be a receiver only. As far as how it is going to send information? I assume just like a cell phone. Do they not send and receive too? What are the speeds for DSL or cable? Is the speed not comparable?

  Best of Luck Everyone!

  Pac....you got me good!  Out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of what I thought was an ant or something crawling across my monitor and I swatted it!

  Good Luck!

  LOL...

  I ran a virus scan, but the bugs keep coming back.

  Unfortunately, the scan only looks for uncles, not ants....

  They must have changed the technology since the last time I looked at it (admittedly several years ago).  It used to be that you would receve via the dish and transmit via the phone.  I do know that the regular satellite that delivers TV does not itself receive signals, so maybe there is some kind of add-on technology that sends the signal elsewhere.

  Awesome, glad you're now upgraded.  You'll find it has much greater compatibility with all web sites.  There are a few things at Lottery Post that work better under IE7 (as opposed to IE6).
