Thanks, i guess in my own head I was hoping that the net sats, and gps sats shared. Got idea since sat tv, and those that actually use a sat on their house for net. But I guess those are just tv sats and piggy back the dsl from the land line required for sat recievers for tv. And since my tp is only gps I ever had, and never any sat (well there is one on my house (I rent), been here 5 years, but it was here first) i figured I would dabble in finding out info.
