It appears that reading from this forum that the receiver continually
needs to be authorized (every two weeks?) in order for the unit to
function. Can anyone who unplugged the sat before cancelling confirm
whether or not the OTA functions past two weeks? If not, is there a
way to Reauthorized the receiver to just get OTA channels (any work
around enabling the IPG tier...don't need the voom's in programming
guide to get OTA?).
thanks,
