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????
