I am so excited...I have lights that are blinky-flashy and my Vast 01 is transmitting plenty good enough near my display. Still have a few elements to finish wiring (and extension cords are breaking my budget...lol), but all is working. Thanks to everyone who has helped me throughout the last year to get this newbie going. You are an awesome group of guys!!!

The extension cords are the priciest item in most displays...mostly because it is easy to overlook and you just need so many of them!

Extension cords are a sensitive issue....lol. I severely underestimated my needs and had to go and purchase a large amount to finish my display. Fortunately, Lowe's had 40 ft on sale for 5.97. I have a couple of bad strands of lights that I have to replace, but complete display was running tonight. It was fun to see the neighbors reaction!! Had people stopping on the street to watch, and I still dont have my "Tune-To" sign up yet. I am hooked and my 6 year had this awesome look of amazement when she saw it. She thinks dad is really cool now...LOL !!

As an additional note...I am running 64 channels on a Grinch ( no mega tree this year) and I have all my channels full !! Can't wait for next year!!! Plans are for another 64 channels, plus add dimming.

Congratulations! It's a great feeling, isn't it! And that your daughter thinks you're cool... well, it can't get any better than that!
