So am I. Satellite tv signals ARE digital, so like in the example I gave above, I'd have to differ on that 15 foot limit.

And yes, I know what a digital signal is. I have to disagree about there only being on or off with it though. In a perfect circuit, yeah, that'd be right. But if you've ever used a digital circuit probe then you know that's not always the case. On the probes I've always used, for example, they would call a signal between say 0 and 2.5 volts a low (off) and one from 3.5 to 5 volts would be a high (on), but when the test falls between the 2.5 to 3.5 volt range, both lights on the probe come on, so therefore the signal is neither a definite high or low. Theoretically its not supposed to happen, but it does.
