I just received mine this morning.  If not for exams and two labs this 
week, I would be throwing it in my backend tonite.  My intent is to be 
able to receive the non QAM encrypted channels from mediacom cable in my 
local area.  As soon as time catches up to me, I'll post success or 
failure stories.
