    Voom STB freezes during reboot

    First, press power buttom 5 seconds, you will see orange light blinks, it should soft reset the receiver. 2nd, if it does not work, unplug every cable, press power buttom for one minute, and let it sit for 24 hours, this should discharge completely.

    [VOOM/DISH/OTA] Can I use indoor HDTV antenna with the VOOM receiver ?

    Remember to remove diplexer, and a cheap ($20) amp will probably be a big help. (not pre-amp, it is more for multi-path.)

    Pay a little more get it from someone truthworthy (from here)? Or, get a cheaper one from ebay, sometimes seller does not have any idea? It is $10 - $20 different, choice and choice.

    [VOOM/DISH/OTA] Re: "Activated" Voom Box, how do I verify?

    A buyer better asks percise questions, no matter how common sense or law are suppose to be. If a seller lies to you regarding a percise question, then, there is no grey area. But, practically, Voom is not in business any more, activated or non-activated mean nothing - how do you gonna to prove a...

    Re: [VOOM/DISH/OTA] Got Voom bix from eBay, won't get locals on scan

    I don't know where you reside. I also have same problem with one of local PBSs. After contacted the station, they suspected the header of the signal stream may be the problem; they are in process of moving from channel 27 to 25, they don't expect to solve this particular problem (only to Voom...

    Buying Voom DSR 550 from EBay will it work with OTA

    No. "Not authorized" means the receiver was not activated, it is in new factory state (or, reset to). This one simply will not work. "No signal" means either the seller did not set up antenna correctly, or the turner is bad. You could ask seller connect it to antenna, scan local channels...

    Terminated from DISH

    Sorry to hear you lost your summer $$. Could it be purely a cost cutting move, "out-saucing" thing? You are one of unlucky ones?

    [VOOM/DISH/OTA] Got Voom bix from eBay, won't get locals on scan

    Do a soft reset, press "power" buttom on receiver for about 5 seconds, you'll see orange light blinks off; see what happens. Don't ever do a system reset (you can find info somewhere over internet, I'll not tell you how to do it), it will set your receiver back to factory setting, the receiver...

    [VOOM/DISH/OTA] Re: "Activated" Voom Box, how do I verify?

    Look at this definition from AVS HDTV Moderator Ken H, (I'd like to believe a Mod has better idea about it.) "As long as you can get past the initial activation screen, into the main Voom page, it's been activated." Debating words does not help. Bottom line is, if you want to buy a Voom for...

    Re: [VOOM/DISH/OTA] Re: "Activated" Voom Box, how do I verify?

    It is not true. De-subbed Voom box still and will scan all local channels; it even let you "save" or "hide" those channels. But, when you press "watch", you can NOT watch it. A new Voom receiver will have "receiver not authorized", once you subscribe, it is "activated"; at this point, the...

    [VOOM/DISH/OTA] "Activated" Voom Box, how do I verify?

    No, it is incorrect. A non-activated Voom box will show "unauthorized" when power on the receiver, and go no further. Once subscribed, it becomes "activated", you can go into menu adjustment. When subscription ended, Voom sends a signal to stop the receiver, the receiver becomes "idle", you'll...
