I read it as the OTA's are provided and the tuner at no extra charge. But
but tuner is part of the Voom package. You cancel and they have every right
to disable that feature. Yeah I think it sucks. As for the FCC reg below.
That won't apply to VOOM. The tuner was part of the service, you cancel
Voom and the receiver is canceled as well. No where does it read that the
tuner must still be accessible to the user if the service is canceled. As
long as you are a VOOM Subscriber the below would apply

It seems like VOOM needs a refresher in FCC regs. I can see how a rental
box can be turned off completely for non-payment, but how can they
legitimately think it's OK to turn off the OTA on a receiver that they no
longer own? I guess that until someone goes after them legally they will be
right....
