Ok then, things were annoying before, but now I'm just ticked off.  I
must enhance my calm...

I put in an AirStar HD-5000 card I've got to see if I get better results
and I'm getting exactly the same results as the HDHR.  It sees that
there's a channel there, but it can't seem to figure out what channel it
is.  Any more ideas anyone?

Tks!
