$30 Well spent

They still have those available. A second one is a nickel cheaper!

More channels from the twinhan software than MCE in Vista. Horsepower from a Core 2 Duo and 2 gigs of rams do rather nicely.

32 channels from a channel master 367? something sitting on a table 4 feet off the ground. The PBS stuff is pretty good with 4 different outlets and multiple channels each.

Got to get that sucker up on the roof and then I'll see what I can really get.

Only the heat in the attic prevents me from finding the rafter needed to mount the base.
