    VOOM STB FAQ (Motorola DSR-550): Post-VOOM Edition

    I was trying a work around for a Tivo Series 2 w/lifetime and had identified a Voom solution. No one in Tivo land is sure what they will do when the atsc boxes come out. Thanks for the help. Will check the ribbon, and a new OTO module is coming cheap, so we'll see. Thanks again all.

    Thanks---I had seen that one too. My guess is that either the box was in fact killed on the day the kill signal went out, or the ota pop out module has gone bad. Any thoughts? Thanks again.

    Make sure you are connecting your antenna to correct connector: there are five(!) similar connectors on the back of the box. Check the picture in post #4. Got the right one--thanks. What signal level do you see when you do "aim antenna"? Nothing--zero Does your antenna has a built-in...

    Channel Scanning with Voom

    Channel Scan will not detect Local signals-Voom Box I recently bought an old Voom box reportedly active as of the kill date, but presumably off line at the time of the kill signal. Software 02.4c so it sounds like the latest version. My guess is the machine was active in Georgia as it shows...
