Momma - DBF and I did that this weekend. We hooked up some speakers to the laptop and watched documentaries online.
The weirdest thing happened last week. I had another one of those don't want to think to much nights and didn't think anything would come in on the tv as there was a thunderstorm; rain, high winds, etc. But I turned the tv on anyhow as Nova was supposed to come on. Low and behold I got all channels in just fine.
The dang thing works better in storms. LOL
