    Huh? It's not visible in the first post above?

    Edit: Holy crap. I just learned that if you are signed into your Google account at the time that you copy the YouTube link, it embeds as "private" here. I signed out and got the link again and it works...

    It works now. Maybe you can do that in a truck stop and focus the can towards your truck, lol.

    I don't see no need at home. I get a full signal way out in the yard.

    What about broadband wireless? Is there a way to boost that signal?
