It seems that David is grasping at straws. USL, where I work, is an
educational institution (as are a very many net users judging from
headers and map info). And what a surprise David, we have had at least 
one cable feed into every building on campus for as long as cable has
been around. Do you really believe that there aren't a significant number
of non-home users who will benefit from this? Come now.
And as far as the decoder cost goes; if you can build your decoder for
less than the commercial product, have at it. I for one don't have the
time, expertise, money, rescources, etc. to do so and would gladly pay
whatever it costs to cut my phone bill down.
Now that the mass of pro-stargate messages has come in (I cringed when 
Lauren asked for it) why don't you go off and build your decoder and let the 
rest of us enjoy hearing the exiting news from Lauren.
Again, Lauren, I can't wait to see you and your project results at Dallas.
