I have updated the firmware - it was the second thing I tried.  I think most
of the indoor antennas have tunable amps.  First I'll try the antenna from
the exact same spot as the Insignia.  Then, I'll try out an amp'd antenna
and if the amp'd antenna doesn't work, then I'll check out the Silicondust
forum.

At least I know for a fact that I can recieve some channels in my apartment
so *should* work with the HD Homerun.
