I picked up an external Omnidirection antenna from Frys last weekend for my MA311 for about $30. I think it was a SMC or LynkSys, either way it sits on top of my freeBSD box instead of burried in the tangle of wires at the back and I get quite a lot more signal to the tivo box, and our laptops. /RjL
