    Hopper 3 and the OTA dongle

    Thanks. This is what I got. I plugged it in this weekend. Worked as planned. I used an indoor antenna in not such a great place to keep it hidden for WAF. I am also splitting the signal so that is hurting as well. All that being said, I am bringing in every channel except ABC. Channel 8 in DFW...

My ultimate goal is to get uncompressed OTA signal directly to my TV. Uncompressed through the Hopper 3 is my second choice. If I...
