Right but you're downloading the data from the net. Tim wanted to grab the
data from the satellite.

If you're happy being reliant on a third party then that's probably easier.
Personally I like having a system that is not dependent on net access or a

letter (whatever the legalities most people hosting find it a lot easier to
take it down than to fight).
