That is why I wrote there might be Linx trouble back when they were 
purchased.  I don't remember the figure but the purchase price seemed 
very low at the time for someone with a new technology that might have 
given DTV reception to Mark's apartment.  That plum belongs to Zenith 
now.  I'm still guessing there is trouble in Linxville though I have no 
idea what.
