Voom Boxes for OTA?

[Zippster]

I have a couple Voom boxes that the OTA tuners work well on and was wondering if anyone is using these for sage ota tuners and if it is possible?

I have my server in a laundry closet and use HD100 for tv.

For OTA, just get a tuner that's directly attached to the PC, much easier and much better solution.

Just figured I'd ask as I already have the voom tuners but would have to buy more tuner cards.

Well you can use them if you really want, but:

• You need to connect them to the line in of your current cards
• Recordings won't be HD
• You need to get, and configure and IR blaster to control them
• If you want HD, you need to buy HD PVRs....

Or you can just get a single HDHR or something, plug the cable in and be done

You are talking about Voom (gobbled up by Dish Network) set top boxes right?

Yes sir, too bad too as they were the best quality in HD sat.
