well i'm in NYmetor ( 10miles from Manhattan), so i (foolishly) expected the
reception to be at least good. but non at all? yeah... (frustrated).
I'll check the sites - maybe i got a bad antenna. I just picked up "HDTV/FM
HD radio antenna" from radioshack by radioshack. didnot do any research -
just wanted to check.

I read a bit around and it seems that they should allow the fireware
connection. Does this help me in any form or shape ?
