Tom, here are the photo's.  In lnt_remove1, I am pointing at the screw
that is not obvious that you remove and you can see where the screw on
the right was already removed.  lnt_remove2 shows the LNT module
detached from the OTA and you can clearly see the plastic connector you
would have to disconnect if you wanted to leave the LNT on the OTA.






Hope this helps, I am also going to CC Mike Weasner on this in case he
would like to add the photos to his site.
