    WHOM do I contact for CURRENT recommendations; Asus or some other
    on-line forum?*? TY DH **NOTE Asus has drivers for YUAN also, but no PN**

    Which method will allow best OTA reception for a rural area? :confused:
    Am thinking an External antenna connected to an Express Card tuner. BUT MAY HAVE HOT PALM REST from (-) Express Card, Avoided w/ USB (+)
    Which model & antenna would be best?
    Thought USB versions would not be as powerful, have as many options (?*?), as most USB ant are little cellular phone car-mount style (-)
