On-screen touch keypads? Aren't they part of games? Or is this some sort of x86 tablet that lets you run non-mobile games? | ||

Go ahead, regale us with tales of how tall buildings to the left and right of you interfere with satellite communications, which travel horizontally. Okay. When setting up a satellite network link, you must first find the beacon signal for the satellite. This allows you to accurately point the dish to send and receive the radio signal. Now, the vast majority of places you are, this will require you to aim the dish at the satellite. This will depend on your location and geography - as an example, when pointing a Hughesnet dish towards one of their satellite constellation, I'm required to aim the dish (from one location) at approximately 121 degrees with a 59 degree azimuth. (Edit - This is not vertical. This is not close to vertical. This is aiming above the horizon, because rarely is a satellite directly overhead.) Then I have to spend about 15 minutes refining this pointing of the dish to get the strongest signal possible. Now, when there are obstructions (for example, aluminum jet wash baffles), this means that I may need to move the location of the dish for a less obstructed line of site, or relocate the dish upwards to avoid obstructions. Now, I can point the dish over an obstruction, but only if I can still lock the beacon signal from that position. + Show Spoiler + Sorry, but I am involved in both HF and satellite based emergency communications as a collateral to my main job. TL;dr - Yes, line of sight matters, and very large buildings can block you from it. They can be next to you, down the street, or six blocks away, depending on their height. There's a reason why most rooftops in NYC have giant antenna farms. | ||

Give me the blade and put glasses on my head and let me play a video game in virtual world that is created around me and put a price tag on that thing and I will buy it. | ||
