RE: [a bit OT] GPS signals

["White, Peter" <peter.white@xxxxxxx>]

All

I bought a GPS gatso detector lest week, and it worked fine on a quick
check-out test.  I went to install it over the weekend, and it failed to
acquire any satellite signals, no matter how long I left it.  I called
Snooper tech support this morning, and they are claiming that the GPS
signals have been 'turned down' due to something about the lunar eclipse
last week.  I pointed out that my satnav system still works fine, but
apparently this is more powerful than the GPS aerial supplied with my
Snooper.

I feel like I've just been made a mug of, but is there any element of truth
to this?  Have any of you with Tom Toms or similar experience problems
since
around last Thursday?

Pete
