ANSWER: Yes and no. As long as there is a clear view between the DataStorm and the Satellite in the sky, you will receive the signal. Trees and buildings can be on both sides of this line of sight, but not directly in between. A general rule of thumb that works most of the time is, if the tree fell and could hit the DataStorm then it probably can block the signal.

ANSWER: No. You must employ a professional installer that has been Hughes Network Systems and MotoSat Datastorm Certified according to FCC regulations and that has the tools and resources to put the satellite dish in place.

ANSWER: The DataStorm Dish is mounted on a motorized 3 axis computer controlled platform... One button selection from your PC initiates an automatic search and peak to lock onto the Satellite. Ready to surf the internet!

The DataStorm satellite system is a automatic self-pointing system developed and manufactured by MotoSAT. The DataStorm system includes: The DataStorm is simply a means of connecting to the Internet via satellite by automatically pointing your dish.

The satellite platforms provide all the equipment and means necessary to connect to the Internet via satellite. Usually, when a satellite provider installs a system on a non-mobile structure, a certified installer points it by hand. This is painstaking but needs to be done usually only once. A mobile system goes up and points to the satellite many-many times in different places.

With the introduction of the MotoSAT D-2 Controller and the DirecWay DW7000 modems, the DataStorm will work with most any computer. The DataStorm is now fully compatible with the Macintosh platform and NO PC is required for proper operation.

ANSWER: Not really. The DataStorm is fairly complicated and quite heavy. A professional installer has the tools and resources to put the dish in place. Certification by Hughes Network and MotoSAT is required for all installers.

ANSWER: All major components are custom machined out of aluminum and powder coated. All stainless steel hardware is used. It uses DC motors to raise the antenna, adjust elevation, azimuth and skew. Plastic covers are custom molded. Every part is proudly made in the USA. Each dish is hand assembled by skilled technicians right here in the USA! ANSWER: Always. 24/7. If the antenna is locked on to the satellite, and your computer is turned on, you are online.

Digital satellite is where the digital television signal is transmitted via a satellite. The signal is picked up by a mini-dish installed at the viewerâ??s home and then decoded by a set-top box into sound and pictures.

In most cases you will need a clear line of sight to the tower. Microwaves at frequencies of 2.4 and 5.8 GHz do not travel well through foliage and solid objects. We do have 900 MHz NLOS (non line of sight) equpment in selected areas with a lot of trees.

Depending on which DataStorm dish you choose will determine the general price. Other considerations like where you want the dish to be installed, networking, running the cables, and overall installation cost by dealer can all affect the overall price. Typically, the DataStorm F1 has an MSRP of $4595. Installation costs usually run $1000 on top of the MSRP, with typical internet service starting at $79 a month.

Answer: Easy, call Motosat at (800) 247-7486 today to find your nearest dealer, or check the dealer listings on this website.

ANSWER: Even in heavy rain the system should remain operational. The DataStorm's electronics will detect sever rocking, such as heavy winds, and will stow the dish. The antenna should be stowed if winds in excess of 40 mph are expected. ANSWER: The Datastorm can fit on any mobile platform that gives it room to turn around in place. The antenna weighs 105 lbs., requires 54" x40" of clear space.

How old is the TV? Older sets can experience tuner problems that can cause single channel problems. With new TVs, this is probably not the case. If you have a recent model set, you can rule out the TV. MontanaPBS is a service of Montana State University - Bozeman & The University of Montana - Missoula© 2008 MontanaPBS

Digital Television is the new "revolution" in television technology. Available in the UK and Northern Ireland from both terrestrial (i.e. normal antennae) and satellite (i.e. with a dish) transmissions, digital television uses a complex transmission standard sending picture and sound information in digital, as opposed to analogue form, similar to data transmission between computers.

Yes - if the information is being transmitted (it is on most channels). Page updates are also much quicker. As with the on screen channel guide, they are also a good source of program schedules.

The signals are digital, but your TV isn't (unless you have an HDTV), so you don't get the full benefit of the digital transmission. Both DIRECTV and Dish Network offer multiple channels of HBO, Cinemax, Showtime and STARZ! on a monthly subscription basis.

The Arbor Day Foundation does not condone the practice of tree topping. Topping creates many problems for trees including insect infestations and diseases, weak limbs, shock and starvation to the tree and poor aesthetic qualities. For more information on tree topping, please contact Member Services for Tree City USA Bulletin #8 "Don't Top Trees". This bulletin is available for $3.

the PDC signal is carried by part of the analogue teletext service, it is not available on most digital services. It may be available for Cable TV users if they can also receive teletext as part of this service. If you are in any doubt about whether you will get the PDC signal or not, do NOT enable PDC when setting your recorder.

Digital satellite can be received from any location in New Zealand as long as the signal path from the dish to the satellite is clear from any physical obstruction such as trees overhanging the dish. The digital terrestrial signal is prone to more interference from hills, buildings and trees. Also the distance from the transmitter to the aerial plays a big part in the strength and quality of the signal.

No. Our primary role is to diagnose buildings for indoor air quality problems. If we detect indoor contaminants, we use our “tool kit” of sequential investigative procedures to identify the specific pollutants and to locate their source. We work with our clients and the contractors of their choosing to eliminate the source, and we help them develop an indoor air quality plan to assure that the problem does not return. No.

ANSWER: The DataStorm can be mounted on any mobile platform that allows space for Dish rotation 56” radius and a clear line of sight view to the Satellite. More information concerning small trailer mounting can be found on our web site. ANSWER: Not at this time. MotoSAT is developing a system specifically for the marine environment but at this time has no release date.

A satellite TV center broadcasts a TV signal to a satellite in the sky. The satellite sends the signal back to earth, where it is picked up by a satellite dish, converted to a TV picture by a receiver, and displayed on a TV screen.

Most likely, yes. We support more than 5,000 different devices that use infrared (IR) remote controls. If your device is not supported, please let us know and we will work to make sure it is supported in the next version of SlingPlayer software. NOTE: the Slingbox only works with IR devices. RF (radio frequency) controlled devices are not currently supported. Yes. The Slingbox PRO with HD Connect Cable and the Slingbox SOLO allow you to watch and control your HD content via component inputs.

Answer: The buildings are all steel & concrete cement structures with very durable, quality finishing.
