Thanks Sam. Yes, I want to tune it to Seattle area radio stations. An outside antenna means drilling hole in the house and running wires in places that are visible. Kind of what I hope to avoid back when we were in the framing stage and before sheetrock went on. What the hell is an "internet appliance?" What name does it go by in the store. I'm usually a pretty smart guy, but I don't understand half the [censored] in this thread. I had no idea this could become so problematic.

Another little problem that cropped up that I hadn't anticipated. Instead of getting telephone from Qwest, my wife switched to getting it with cable when we were in the condo and have it that way in the new place. Of course there is no cable outlet in the closet where the home security system is installed, just an electric outlet and a standard telephone jack. Comcast is going to come back out and change something so that I can have dial out service with my alarm system. It's just been an audible alarm for the past year since it was installed. If it goes off and I'm not home, I want the security company to call me (our county sheriff doesn't respond to security alarms unless a "panic mode" button is pushed, so I want to be able to drive home and blow the [censored] out of any intruder if they're stupid enough to still be here. A little off topic, but if I'd known I would have run another half mile of wire in my house for who knows what.
