Just Bought Voom Need Help

[thumpermojo14]

I JUST Bought an activated voom and have no idea how to work it. I have cox cable and no antenna and want to know what I need to get it to work. Do I need a satelite and an antenna or neither one of the other?

Welcome to SatelliteGuys! A Satellite will do you no good. You will need an OTA Antenna. Good Luck!

is that just like one of those indoor antennas? I'm new to this and have no idea what I'm doing.

An indoor or outdoor antenna. Voom boxes are only good for OTA reception now.

The OTA will only work if the DSR-550 was activated by Voom prior to their demise. You will not be able to scann your local broadcasts if the unit was not activated.

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

Where are you? Look at antennaweb.com to map the transmitters. A good UHF indoor ant may work fine. Where did you buy the voom? How much?

I bought it on ebay for like 50 bucks or something and I'm pretty much yellow and red on antennaweb.com

How lost are you? The voom FAQ in the main thread above this gives a lot of info.
