Satellite is the only way we get anything. If the weather so much as farts, we lose signal. The only satellite that would be better would be one of the old-timey 10’ dishes that we had over 20 years ago. The cell towers are behind big hills and the signal doesn’t always make it to us. Besides, this old farmhouse has a metal roof. That’s why our signal is better, but not great, outside.

I’m just happy that people in here can 10-4 for those of us that still live in the Middle Ages. I might be able to find his recorded speech online and download it when the stars all line up. That way I can watch it without all of the buffering.

“Satellite is the only way we get anything. If the weather so much as farts, we lose signal.”

For what it’s worth, there were a couple of powerful solar storms the end of February, which played hell with sensitive equipment on Earth.
