Thanks for all the suggestions! I am still debating between Piedmont Plastics, and FinAddict. The guy at FinAddict was very very helpful!!! David

If you are looking for HD channels, I would vote for Directv. There DVR's and HDDVR's have ton's of features, and Directv has the NFL Sunday Ticket if you are interested in Football. If you have any more questions just let me know b/c I am a DirecTV Dealer. Also visit www.whereishd.com to find out what channels are in your area! David

Your problem is going to be the latency involved in your satellite internet connection. I use to install satellite internet, and was one of the first few installers here in NC. When you request a webpage the request travels 22000 miles to the satellite, back down to the network operations center, to the server, and back to the network operations center, and back to the satellite, and finally back to you. This is where you are experiencing the delay. The google ads do not help because they are loaded after the initial web page request. Checkout dslreports.com and go into the satellite forum to see if you can tweek your setting on your system. Also you may can try the lo-fi version of this sight ( http://reelboating.com/forums/lofiversion/....php/t1721.html ) and that may help some. David

Where near NC is a good place to purchase Starboard? Internet links would be good too, even if the company is not near NC. Thanks, David

It sucks! IMHO Stick with XP David

Wiley, I have a friend of mine that does the Vinyl printing like you need for that decal. If you want I can get some prices for you on how much it would be to get the decals. Let me know if you are interested. David

Join the chat at Inletcam.com (Wiley's sister site) There may be reviews on this site for cruise ships. I know there will be links to reviews, and such. Also there is a chat room that you can ask some of the people that frequent the site. David

I would definatly agree with Auguste about getting a patent. My grandfather invented the first "laser" boresighter for guns, and had a patent on it. Patents are expensive, but it keeps your idea yours. My grandfather was working with the Military, and even tested a boresighter for the huge guns on tanks! The military was very interested in it, and our local law enforcement's swat team even used them with great success. He was very determined with his retirement endeavor, but unfortunatly he became sick and passed away. Another company infringed on his patent, and unfortunatly it was to expensive to pursue the infringement, and renew the patent. Below is a link to the patent, if any one is interested. http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?...sboro+AND+IS/nc

What type of antenna do you have? Are there any obstructions? If you have a pivoting bracket for the antenna try angeling the antenna. Also check your antenna connections to make sure they are not corroded. David

Is a link available to the actual product, or is still in design? David

This is the one that I have, let me know if it's what you want and I will try to get you one. David

Been there done that *3, one answer for you! XANEX!! David

Here's another one of those GREAT google ads!! David

Wiley, is there anyway to send one PM to EVERYONE over at ThT without taking forever to do? David

Wiley, I agree, time to season that grill!!!! What type of seasoning did you use on that Mahi? It looks YUMMY!! David

I did that on one site, and they yelled at me!! LOL I have and will continue to promote REELBOATING, and the fabulous new SANDBAR!!! David

Check out the screamer, from Autotether. It's a sensor for occupants aboard the boat (even pet) and it makes an audible alarm sound if anyone falls in the water, or strays 100ft from the boat. Sounds like a great system, and possibly may even integrate into the origional Autotether system! David

Same day service?!?!? Try them out, and let us know how they do, and maybe they can join the reelboating community! David

sneak peak???? David

Where did you get that grill from? Looks nice, can you give me a link to where to buy one? David

Anyone?

That was his stunt double!!! lol jk

I suggested that earlier, what would be REALLY nice is to get a news helecoptor that has an HD camera in it. Now that would be awesome!!!
