I sure did, by mistake actually.....I squeeze the bimmni top into there. One more question, I cant seem to get any TV reception, there is an anternna on the arch (pardon my ignorance but it is the large dome shaped one) and I found the TV gain switch underneath the cabinet however nothing, even when docked. Has anyone else had this issue? thx Matt
If you you have a tube style tv or one of the early flat screens, you will likely need an analog to signal digital converter. I got one at radio shack and I get a fair amount of signal. I have it sitting in the cubby behind the flat screen. While on anchor I plug both that and the tv into 400w inverter plugged into the cigarette lighter in the cabinet behind the sink. Works temporariliy until I get to replace the tv with a new one. All the new tv's are automatically digital.
There's also a post here or on the 280 thread where someone found that the antenna from the arch had been disconnected and a closed loop wire antenna used instead. They found out while working in the cabinet under the sink. I'll look for the thread, but maybe you'll find it first.
