:confused: Hi Ilya. Thanks for all your time, help and suggestions. I guess I may end up trying another powered antenna and/or tuner module down the line to see if I can salvage these. Happy New Year to you too. Thanks, Richard

:confused: Hi Ilya. Thanks for clearing that up. That does mean that it should have worked with either old outdoor antenna or Terk powered antenna that work fine on my other brand receivers. As I replied to Snagglebob, maybe I'm back to square one. Is it possible I ended up with 2 fried...

:confused: Hi Snaggerbob. Both the regular old outdoor antenna and the Terk and Zenith indoor antennas do great on the other brand receivers. The indoor antennas have a problem picking up the local PBS station, but the rest come through. If the pre-amp isn't needed on your Voom, maybe I'm...

:confused: Hi Ilya. I assumed you were saying a regular outdoor antenna wouldn't work because of one of your points: "Make sure you have a power supply (power inserter) for your amplified antenna properly connected. Note, that unlike some other OTA receivers, VOOM box does not supply any...

:confused: Hi Fayrich. I just noticed your reply after I replied to Ilya. Yes, I guess that could be possible about there being 2 bad OTA modules. When I got the 2nd Voom, one of the first things I did when it didn't work was to swap them just in case. Both of the sellers said they were...

:confused: Hi Ilya. The boxes are activated. The diplexer is removed. I've tried swapping the OTA modules and they do snap into place. The absolute need for powered antenna does mean the old standard tall outdoor house antenna would not work, but the powered indoor Terk HDTVi should. I've...

:confused: Hi Ilya. I had mentioned in my first post that I have 3 other HDTV Receivers (Zenith, Hughes and Accurian) that work fine with both a standard tall outdoor antenna and a Terk HDTVi powered indoor antenna. The antennas are both aimed at the towers (within 10-12 miles) in the best...

:confused: Revision to my previous reply. The link to the Post-Voom thread didn't come out right. It cut off part of the link. After the: http://www.satelliteguys.us/ then you should add: showthread.php?t=7178&highlight=Ilya

:confused: Hi Snaggerbob. I have tried taking out the OTA module and reseating it and swapping between the 2 units. By your suggestion, I'm emailing Ilya and, in searching for him, I found the Post-Voom Edition thread: http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=7178&highlight=Ilya This...

:confused: Hi Snaggerbob. I really appreciate your reply. On both of the Voom boxes the sellers said they were picking up local channels after Voom went dark which helped me believe the firmware and software versions were adequate. I only tried the diplexer when nothing happened with the...

:confused: I'm in Houston and I've bought 2 Vooms that won’t register any signal when I run “Aim Outdoor Antenna” and plug in any of the RF channel #’s listed through antennaweb.org (just a beeping noise) and, since this doesn’t register, won’t pick up any channels when “Scan Local Channels”...
