What am I missing. Did I accidentally sleep for about one year? I
thought it was early February 2003 now.

Just about 1 week ago Astra announced that they are going to develop a
bi-directional service and plan to have early field tests in 2004. Now
Alexandre writes that we already has the system up and running?

Can anyone enlighten me and the rest of the list?
@Alexandre: I think a link to what you purchased (equipment and / or
service) would be very interesting for the rest of us.

I have bi-directional sat system also. This includes :

- 1 super antenna (with 200kg of blocks to hold it down)
- 1 super LNB (for sending)
- 1 normal LNB (for receive)
- 1 linkstar box (with : LNB in / LNB out / Ethernet)

So the 2 LNBs are connected to cables (of course), and goes into my
linkstar. Then my linkstar is connected to the network switch. And I
setup my computers on the network with the linkstar's IP address as the
gateway.

That's it. No need to have any DVB card. That's just like standard xDSL.
