Wardner..... you can keep you home phone number to another "Land line" aslong it dosent enter a new aera code and somtimes a new prefix. Although you could transfer you home number to a cell phone as cell phones are mobil and not in a fixed location. inother words if you have a home phone number like 651-248-xxxx you cant transfer it into a new land line in a new aera code like 313. you could take the 651-248-xxxx number and apply it to a mobile cell number. Its not that they cannot hook any given number to any given aera, its just that they have to keep land lines in their respective area codes. Could you imagine that every time someone moves across country they bring a forigen area code to there new home. phone books would be a mess and a city would have thousands of diffrent aera codes. So number portability cannot be applied to land lines when they cross aera codes, in fact land lines cannot use a new prefix in a givin aera code. for example the city of goodhue mn is 651-923 they would not let you use a 651 number in goodhue unless its a 651-923 number. so if you have a 651-222 number, you cannot use it in goodhue as the prefix is not part of thier excange. The purpose of number poritibly was intended for cell phones... as customers of a givin provider would not change their "provider" (like T-mobile) because they dint want a new number. thus the new rules. Land lines are diffrent, and numbers cannot be brought into a new aera unless the aera code and prefix are part of a cities or towns excange. I know in the citie where i used to live we voted on making rochester Mn a local call, well as a result rochester has more then 20 diffrent prifex's. When rochester added their 21st prifex our town dint have the capibilites to accept more then 20 diffrent prefix's as a local call ( just dial seven digets) I know this because i tried calling that new prefix and the operator came on and said it was long didtance when it was not. (eventually they updated their system) That being said could you imagine every one taking there number with them to the new town? there would be mass confusion as local telephonys could not keep up with all the new prefix's from people comming into thier town. Cell phone's don't matter as a cell phone provider buys thier numbers in blocks from diffrent cities around the country. so if you want a rochester mn phone number and you live in las vegas you can have it. People on land lines in rochester could call you as a local call even though your hundreds of miles away. the people in vegas would have to call long distance. even though you in vegas. cell lines are asinged in the aera code you choose. Land lines are assinged an aera code and prefix because of geography, and cannot be chosen like cell phones. As far as sattelite tv goes..he dint have to miss a second of tv, he could of took system with him pointed a dish at the respective sattelite(s) and been in bussiness. I know that new streets can cause trouble with dishnet and directv. but he din't have to tell directv or dishnet that he moved and just changed his billing address. Both directv and dishnetwork allow you to have a billing address diffrent then your phyiscal adress. But if you don't know how to set up sattelite dishes you would be bumming and then you would have to give then you new address so they could hook up you new dish to your equipment. Also if you move to a new city that is a long ways away from where you used to live your local channels that you used to have might not work (depending on how the local channel is broadcast). Local channels are delivered from sattelite via SPOT BEAM in most cases. A spot beam only covers the aera that is allowed to get that channel. A spot beam size is diffrent in all parts of the country. Now some new york and other large cities have their major local networks delivered Via NATIONAL BEAM and as long as your dish can see the sattelite you will be able to get these channels no matter where you are. These large city locals are avabile to truckers and to rual viwers who cannot recive a grade B signal of the network via off air antenna. Neilson media reserch determins boundries, not directv or dishnetwork. sorry for the long post.

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
