Digital Over-The-Air Tuner for ViP 211z Receiver
This is the one I ordered and is still working great! However it is not what is pictured and is more expensive than the dual tuner that is listed elsewhere on Amazon.
So the other day I went on Amazon and searched for dish single OTA tuner. One popped up so I ordered it. My thoughts were if using a USB extension didn't solve my dual tuner ota issue with losing total signal and having to reboot the hopper than I was gonna just go back to a single OTA tuner(I...
Well I just went to try checking if all is working ok and went to my locals and got the dreaded signal had been lost and searching to regain signal. The same message for everyone of my local channels coming in OTA. I powered down my hopper and now all channels come in just fine. Grrrrrr!
Well my 6 foot USB extension cable came and I now have my dual tuner outside of my open face cabinet and have not been having any issue of the total signal loss that I was experiencing when it was sitting just behind my hopper 3 in the cabinet. The tuner is warm yet but I am hoping it will now...
And they were channels with not much content. I remember a warning was put out once that thieves were looking for homes that had the voom dish, because that meant the home owner had an expensive hdtv
It came with that short extension cable. I ordered a 6 footer. Yesterday when I disconnected the USB tuner I couldnt even touch the R6 cable connector it was so hot. I don't know what this u235 update is I thought it was u500 update that activated the two tuners.
I am gonna try using a USB extension cable to get the tuner out side of my media cabinet. I will report if that helped at all. Otherwise I am going back to the single tuner.
I am not a fan of this new dual tuner. It gets really hot and loses signals all the time. When I reboot the hopper all the channels come back but after about ten minutes the signal is lost. I did not have this before the software update that enabled the dual tuner functions
so i did have the hopper 3 setup. at this time all i have is the dish with the lnb and the node. if i wanted to come back to dish but only use the wally receiver, could i just hook that up to the node? or does the wally need a different setup?
I answered my own question by just ordering it. I figured for $37.50 for the rest of the season is worth a try. Yes it has commercials. The grey screen on MLB tv bugs me
I see that MLB extra innings for dish is now $37.50. is extra innings just like MLB.tv? No commercials.....just a grey screen? Is this price just for the playoffs or is it for the rest of the season?
Just an update......i found a rca 11 maven pro on clearance at my local walmart for $45. yes $45! It runs the dish anywhere app with no problems so far.
