Cool.  I will give that a shot then.  Do you use an RF amplifier?  I will
need to mount the antenna on the back of my house (covenant restrictions),
and then make a 70 foot run with the coax, through the attic.

I have the machine put together but have not loaded any software yet.  I
should be able to get the pcHDTV card first week of December.

Thanks for answering all these questions.  I realize you had to put a lot of
effort into getting this all to work.
