    Trying to understand OTA and an OTA install with VOOM.

    Only way I can describe the direction of my balcony is by the direction it faces to get DTV. If im not mistaken, im pointing SE to get it. But again, my balcony points over a HUGE open field so I can go SW as well. I guess I will just have to wait and see what happens with the install...
