    If you have the 811 yet has it ever had a firmware upgrade?

    VOOM in Oklahoma

    I live out east of Tulsa near Inola & am thinking about seeing if i can get good reception with a Voom install. Can anyone suggest a good installer besides the Sears guys. I want a pro who knows what he is doing. I'm less than 10 miles from the cluster of the most important OTA transmission...
