Linda, Yes, I do remember helping you out hwen you were wondering what was going to be coming up with the new unit that you were going to be recieving. I am guessing that it might be my reciever, but not for certain; I will keep testing until Monday, and if the same problem consist that I will take the next step--call in. I hope that you are enjoying your new unit and learning to use it and that it is coming along smoothly for you.
