Data Rate Slowdown?

I bought a decoder from a third party. When it was first connected and
for the following few weeks, I received a complete stock quote quite a few
times per day. Suddenly, I was receiving only one or two a day.

I suspect this unit was somehow set for the enhanced feed, and they
"zapped" it remotely. However, during the first few weeks I noticed
occasional "encrypted" packets zipping by, so unless they've got multiple
levels of enhancement, I wasn't getting a full feed to begin with.

Did xpress change their feed level recently, or am I right in assuming that
the unit has a remote "downgrade" feature?
