This method returns the download status for the gas channel.
Syntax
BYTE GetGasChannel();
Parameters
None.
Return Value
Returns a BYTE that ranges between 0 and 100 and represents the percentage of the data downloaded. If the value is greater than 100, this indicates that the download is 100 percent complete.
Remarks
The download status refers to the process of downloading up-to-date data about gas stations and prices from the Microsoft DirectBand wireless datacasting network to the MSN Direct receiver through the gas channel.
The gas-channel download status is a weighted average between 75 percent of the total number of available gas stations in the local region, and 25 percent of the total number of new available prices for the day. Note that the number of gas stations and prices changes daily.
