You shouldn't have to change inputs on your TV. The antenna cable plugs into the back of the Voom box, then you can change channels between Voom and OTA just using your Voom receiver.

I believe that if the satellite picture goes out, you still will be able to tune the ota channels.

I have found that to be correct. Just this evening I lost the satellite picture in a very heavy rain storm, but OTA is coming in through the Voom box just fine.

You'll probably have to split the line from the antenna and run one end into your Voom box (where it is now) and run the other into your TV's antenna input. But remember, this will only give you the analog channels through the tuner on your TV unless it has a built-in digital tuner. Good luck.
