    Hopper 4

    What do you guys want to see in the Hopper 4? I'd like to see four OTA tuners built-in. There are three good reasons for this addition. 1) Just about everyone could save $12/mo. 2) PTAT via OTA could be introduced. 3) Auto-Hop that actually works on all the major networks via OTA without the...

    The End of OTT TV?

    Now that net neutrality is history, will OTT TV survive? The way I see it, all forms of ISPs what to put an end to OTT TV. Cable companies want to retain or even gain TV customers, so they'll be the first to sabotage OTT. Many phone companies now offer their own TV service, so same as cable...

    I know this is old school but can a diplexer be used with a Wally and an RV dome dish to run the satellite and OTA antenna signals over a single coax line?
