In other words, "I am going to whine here, and everywhere else I can,
because I choose to live outside the coverage area, and they will not
listen to me, when I complain about that, and THEY should be required to
provide me with what I want, even if it is not Cost effective, because I
said so, or they shouldn't be allowed to sell their stuff in stores in
my area."

Take some money, and go BUY YOURSELF a Life.......

Why don't you take responsibility for your words and use a real name
instead of hiding behind anonymity?

        IQ? I don't think I see any of your IQ? is your below the average to be
seen?

Why the FUCK are people misreading what I wrote?

> service area. Those living in that area should be responsible to determine

I looked at the map and saw that I am in a fringe / partially covered
area, and that the signal availability and strength improves the closer
get to I-95, and that I should have almost-solid, if still a bit weak
(as in one to one and a half green bars instead of the system's full
three bars) by the time I reach an area where I'd be needing the data.

If you had bothered to read my post, rather than rant back at me, you
would know that I had also traveled "significantly" into an area where
the coverage map shows FULL COVERAGE before the receiver indicated it
was receiving any signal, at all.

> if they will need it or now. Perhaps you live in a region of low IQ.

It's not my IQ that's low, here.

Probabaly because you don't write clearly.

You also wrote: "The MSN Direct receiver should not be available here."

What exactly do you mean by that absurd statement? If I want to buy one, I
should be able to buy it.

You should also be aware that radio signals can vary a bit at certain times
of the year. On my normal commute to work I listen to a radio station about
70 miless from me. Another about 60 miles. Some days I have signal from my
house to work. Other times, especially in spring, I have a couple of gaps.
Cell phone signals can vary too.
