Ernie,

I guess there is a difference between how a do-it-yourselfer and someone who is on the clock views "a long set-up time". I already had direct TV installed (by a professional) and told him he could leave and I'd finish up. I wondered why he seemed so appreciative! ;)

I can't disagree with the fact that there was some setup and cudchewing time, but I simply walked away and cut the grass or something while it did it's thing.

I still wouldn't trade it for anything AND it has been working smoothly for quite some time (again, its probably a relative thing).

Thanks for another view on the subject.

Larry
