They got me in their dragnet as well. Not only do I not own a dish, but the excessive foliage in my backyard prevent me from even signing up if I wanted to.

I got a reader/writer and an emulator board to look at smart cards used for PKI systems at my work.

Now I'm on the hook for escalating legal fees. Lovely.
