    Getting installed right now as I type - some quick questions if anyone is here...

    oh yeah, its cool Not even a boxing fan but man that was cool to watch. Signal seems strong - no real that others haven't already posted. This guy took the time to move it around until he found the right spot. I've seen MOOV and the fish tank - my 6 year old thought it was cool.

    The Installer is doing his thing on the roof even as I type. He didn't like the initial signal but now seems to have found it and think he can make it work. WHEW He plugged in the VOOM STB without the cable from the sat dish and expected to see some sort of welcome screen. That didn't come...
