    Was the box active when Voom shut down? If it wasn't or it is a new box it will not function.

    How far away are the broadcast towers? If you are close you may get away with an indoor antenna.

    programming the remote

    Do a search from this site. Maybe..Voom Installer? I kinda remember a guy called satelliteguy2000 on the old Voom forum. You could send him a personal message. Have you tried to find a newer remote for it? I think I may even have a spare somewhere.

    programming the remote

    The Voom remote has a vcr button. It is located on the bottom left and is blue I think. The Voom remote would have the Voom logo on it.

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

    Did you try #3 on the installer menu, aim off air antenna? You must type in the station RF#, then aim your antenna til it locks in. I think it locks in when you hit 85%.

    Output connections on VOOM box

    They also have S-video,2 A\V and a coax output. If you buy one make sure it is activated. It will be useless unless it was in service when Voom went dark. I have 3 and they do a great job.

    Hit the Voom button then hit the green button twice. I think this takes you to the settings page. The scan for locals is one of your choices. Let me know if this helps.

    Main local ota not scanning in?

    You may need to adjust your antenna. Is the tower for NBC in the same area as the others? You need at least a 85% signal to lock on.

    Voom OTA help...

    Try hitting the Voom Button then the green button twice. This will let you into the installer menu #7 I believe. Highlight #7 and hit ok. This will take you to scan for local stations #4 I think.

    Using a Voom receiver with HD ready tv

    Voom setup The Voom receiver will pick up ota transmissions. Do you have an antenna setup? If you do, you simply run some rg6 cable from then antenna to the receiver. Then run the rg6 from the receiver to the tv. Better yet, use componet or dvi connecters from the receiver to the tv. Depending...

    How much is it worth?

    Make sure you bid on an activated box. Every so often you can find one in the classified ads on this site. Ebay would be the quickest way. You may get one for $40 but you will have to be patient.

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

    You need to be able to have at least 80-85 signal strength to lock onto a channel. You may need to upgrade your antenna. How far from the tv towers are you? Check the Antenna web. I think it's www.antennaweb.org.

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

    Hoopnoop, Is your DVR on the pioneer Tivo? I could do a manual time recording when I had Voom and wanted to record OTA. You had to trick the Tivo but I'm not exactly sure how I did it. I found out how to do it from a thread on this site. Do a Voom Tivo search and see what pops up. I will look also.

    stuck on installation menu

    Glad everything worked out. The Voom receiver provides a very good quality picture. I have 3 of them going now.
