Bob,
The question about the satellite receivers was in reference to DSSS vs FHSS. If your looking for someone to say that DSSS is inferior to FHSS, in my opinion, it is definitely inferior in terms of it's resistance to multi-path. From the information I gathered from watching the video on Horizon's site, DSMX appears to be more of a hybrid of DSSS and FHSS and not a true FHSS system, thus I would suppose that's why DSMX receivers still employ a satellite.
FASST is a DSSS/FHSS hybrid approach too - as are probably many of the other 2.4 systems out there - no satellites... DSSS is *not* the reason for the satellites!
