Thanks for the response, Rich.
What type of receiver did you use ?
I don't mind buying a new receiver as long as it has the AC-3 audio
capability that is required for PBS signals on AMC3.
My receiver is a Fortec Lifetime that I purchased in late 2003 so it is
getting a little "long in the tooth" as FTA receivers go.
Thanks,
PON
