I bought a voom box off ebay. Had been activated, and able to capture off air signals. I removed the diplexer, plugged in antenna, attached component and audio cables to my mits rptv 1080i, checked voom card, and plugged in power. Box powered on by itself. Screen fluctuated with dark colored lines, dots, and black. Tried voom-green-green with no change. Played around with remote, and I was able to see and get into set up menus only by holding in various buttons on remote. If I let go of button, screen would return to lines, dots, and black. Scanned for local channels, set resolution to 1080i, and was actually able to get picture on screen and sound, but only if I continue to hold in various buttons on remote. If I let go of button, screen would return to lines, dots, and black, but sound still plays. If I reset or unplug, box returns to preset settings(I assume from previous owner). Is there anything I can do to get this thing working right?
Well I figured it out. The voom was shipped in a box with no cushioning at all so it was jarred around and subsequently the internal components shifted causing the red button on the front of the box to stay jammed in the pushed in position. Once I released it everything worked fine.
Does anyone know where I can find an owners manual for the box or remote?
