Thanks for the reply. It might be a good option.

I'll look into that, for sure. Do you have a link to a quick guide to that?

The last time I tried there, the video would expire. I'll look around if there is a paid solution.

I did this for a while unwillingly because I was in a rough spot and couldn't pay my phone bill. Even with the ease of getting to wifi in modern times (I would often just go to a restaurant that doesn't turn off their wifi), it just isn't worth it and is a massive inconvenience. Not to mention yh3 call quality was often terrible over slow public wifi once I had the VPN going.I am grateful that doing this is fee, however. It was certainly better than nothing.

General Dynamics. I used to be able to tell about a month ahead of time when a U.S. air strike was going to be in the news because an order for missile parts would come in from them. It was always creepy.

Indeed, but everything you need is there. And I'll throw one in for free and it is awesome to get started: http://websdr.org/

I almost hate to recommend it, but r/rtlsdr is the place to go.

RTL-SDR is basically a way of using a digital device as a broadband radio. That is an oversimplification, but that is the idea. There are cheap USB devices out there that will turn a PC into a ham radio receiver (among a really wide range of other bands like weather satellites). I have no idea how they are doing it with Android, however. Maybe using the phone's antenna.

A conveyor would make the most sense.

Things like this are why I am mostly glad to still be using xbmc on my original hacked Xbox. Not much space and I have to deal with FTP, but it still works a treat.

I'm not defending this, but this is an extremely common practice in the US.
