I'm cleaning house and it's time to get rid of this unit. I hate to get rid of it, but I already have three Dish Network HD receivers and all three of my HDTVs have integrated QAM/8-VSB tuners...it's just taking up space. This unit was used for around 8 months prior to the demise of VOOM DBS, is fully activated with the lastest software 2.4c (aka 7.37), and has been boxed for more than a year. I set it up last night, re-scanned, and took pictures to show how well it works. Although VOOM DBS is out of business, this is still an excellent inexpensive OTA receiver.

I'm in the Fredericksburg area (DC DMA) and this box received/receives the following channels in my locality:

Washington DC: WRC-DT (4-1, 4-2), WTTG-DT (5-1), WJLA-DT (7-1, 7-2), WUSA-DT (9-1, 9-2), WFDC (14-1), WDCA-DT (20-1), WETA-DT (26-1, 26-2, 26-3, 26-4), WNVT-DT (30-1, 30-2, 30-3, 30-4), WBDC-DT (50-1), PAX (66-1,2,3,4,5,6)
Baltimore MD: WMAR-DT (2-1, 2-2, 2-3), WBAL-DT (11-1, 11-2), WJZ-DT (13-1), WNUV-DT, WBFF-DT, WMPT-DT and maybe others.
Richmond VA: WTVR-DT (6-1, 6-2, 6-3), WRIC-DT (8-1, 8-2), WWBT-DT (12-1, 12-2, 12-3), WCVE-DT (23-1), WRLH-DT (35-1, 35-1), WCVW-DT (57-1), WUPV-DT (65-1)
Charlottesville VA: I picked up WVIR and a PBS/IND channel out or Charlottesville, but I don't recall spending any time viewing those channels.

Although I don't have any problems picking up any particular station, I cannot guarantee is will pick up all channels due to the fact is no longer being supported (software updates) by Motorola. Therefore, this unit is only available for local pickup here in Fredericksburg or at my office in Fairfax Lakes. I will guarantee this unit is not DOA...but that's it. The unit has a small electronic stain on the top rear where an A-B switch had been sitting. I've attached some pics (sorry about the flash) to show you this device works as advertised.
