    I could tell it was CSS-based the instant I opened it - but that's good, it's neat, clean, and loads very quickly.

    I looked at your CSS definitions file - again, neat and clean.

    Bugs: The "About OTA" page lacks the menu on the left - is that intentional?

    Looks good! :)

    All in all very nice.

    Well Done!!

    P.S. Did you get my package yet?

    Looks good, very clean visually. Simple and straightforward.

    For some extra traffic and referrals, have you contacted the companies you have linked to from your various pages to see if they'll return the favor with a link to your site?

    Mouse over the 'quotation request form' link at the bottom of the home page, notice how on the mouseover event you can see the underline in the space before and after the link...just means you've got those spaces linked as well, easy enough to fix...

    Little things like that are typically what I notice...that's the only instance of that I found on your site, and of course what petrym mentioned above about the menu missing on the About OTA page...

    Damn! You get a lot more channels then we do in Vancouver. :(
    I'm still waiting for more channels via the OTA or FTA route before I invest in the equipment.

    I like the layout and simplicity of the site myself.

    Good luck with the business.

    Thank you, all! I'll get the bugs fixed.

    The browser was tested in Firefox. The menu on that page works in Firefox, but not in IE.

    Regarding OTA, I love the quality of picture and sound. On some channels, it's better than cable HD channels.

    Hockey in 1080i and with 5.1 sound. How much more can you ask for, eh? (well, that's a bit of a Canadian rant).

    I have my setup already done, and a couple more coming, including my parents' setup this weekend :).

    Hi Nick,
    The package is sitting at the post office. I am going to drive there a bit later tonight to pick it up. Thank you :)
