CANADA!!

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!! SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would 
never have come up with anything wild like that configuration.  That 
gave the diseqc the kick! Thanks Sami. If you come around some day, I'll 
buy you a m?yr?koira of your choice ;)

Thanks again! I'm off surfing the sky!
