    OTA Reception: Please HELP! :(

    How do I remove CHS in memory? I think the problem is that this box is programmed for Florida so when I brought it to Alabama the DMA map doesn't match. Is there a way to fix this so I can use the VOOM box to decode OTA signal or will I have to purchase a seperate tuner for OTA? Thanks.
