I figure out the problem, of course that was after shortening the cable 
as much as I could, testing signal quality with tzap etc. Anyway, I 
_think_ it was because the antenna cable was draping over the PSU and 
the cover was off. It works Perfectly now!

Whoo HOO!

Right, now one other problem - I really want to move my old recording 
data AND my games setup data from my old 0.20 DB to this one????
