Hey, I like bats! Do VM do a bat detector to go with this new feature?

Yep, it doubles as a viewing card, you insert the card and it magically allows you to view the bats

Re: All Chipped Cable Boxes Going Down
When they deliver the cards, they wait a few weeks to turn off the old systems

FYI, you've have misspelled 'receiver' twice in your signature:-
- 'I' before 'E' except after 'C' or when pronounced 'A' as in 'neighbour' and 'weigh' (or 'E' as in 'their' and 'heir' ...).

The old system will only be turned off when all replacement cards have been sent out in your area and the majority have been activated, you will know soon enough.

English is so full of exceptions its a wonder it has become the lingua franca. Or maybe it's because it's so full that you can adapt it however you want.

Receive is still spelt incorrectly though
It amazes me how many people still spell things wrong especially on a web page with its inbuilt spell checker.

I meant my browser Firefox which automatically checks spellings as should IE and most other browsers, puts the pretty red dots under mistakes and a right click gives you the other spelling options to choose from.

Spell checker on this site is ( on mine at any rate) just a right click away!

Re: All Chipped Cable Boxes Going Down
In otherwords there is no inbuilt spellchecker..
The site spellchecker relies on the user installing ieSpell which then does the checking. As for firefox that means sod all as well over 60% of users still use Internet Explorer
