OTA and Hopper

[ESA1178]

I just had dish installed with 1 Hopper and 3 Joeys.
I see the older DVR versions allow for an OTA Module to be installed.
But not the Hopper. Should I be getting the install guy to come out and swap over the Hopper
for another DVR? I can do without accessing the DVR from other locations.
When I called in the order, I was told that the Hopper had a location for
the OTA Module, which it does not.
We pull in local channels that the Hopper does not, so would like to sell our
Series 2 Tivo and pull in those channels through the Dish DVR.
Can anyone recommend the latest DISH DVR that does support the OTA module?

Many thanks!

Mark

Ota adapter for the Hopper is delayed. No ETA on when it will arrive. Probably sometime in the next six months.

I think it is closer than 6 months. Scott mentioned in a month with a J in it. The next J month is January. It really is coming .....wait for it........SSSSSOOOOONNNNN!!!!!!!!!

Probably sometime in the next six months.

Why do you think there is a possible six month time frame? It seemed unofficially like it was June or July, then by end of Summer then that summer would be just missed. Now it seems like no one is willing to even guess anymore that it will be released this year except Scott said he had "gut feeling" it would be October and then November.

considering how far off the original guesstimates were, it's best to leave some room for additional delay. It's curious that the current delay is that severely out of Dish's hands that they don't have a clue when it will be released. One of Scott's replies also included the possibility of a delay going into 2013.
