You're right. I did a total re-install Win10 and missed that one, among others.

Because there are goofy people like me who like all their components to "match", regardless of the fact that nobody will ever see them. With that said, I wouldn't spend $60 on the "Dish" adapter, but I would probably spend $50 on it before I spent $30 on the AirTV adapter. Yes, it is crazy, I know
You nailed it. I wanted to post something but didn't know how to word. I also want to test the newest DISH version too. Maybe it is better yet.Because there are goofy people like me who like all their components to "match", regardless of the fact that nobody will ever see them.

Shhh... don't give AirTV any ideas! They might raise their price.

It's whatever the market will bear. Cord cutters are less likely to pay $60 for a peripheral for their AirTV than a Dish customer is. Seems to me that Dish tends to artificially inflate the cost of their accessories (because their customers will pay it?) Just my guess.
I kind of guessed the opposite. I assumed that the AirTV adapter was being subsidized, with part of the cost of the adapter being bundled into the cost of the AirTV box, because their customers would be more likely to want an OTA adapter anyway, compared to a typical Dish customer. This allows AirTV to list a lower purchase price for the adapter, to entice their customers to upgrade. Of course, if I am right, that also means that they still get paid some of the cost, even if the customer does not buy the adapter.
Subsidized by those who pay full price for the AirTV box that is intended to be used with the adapter: Products | AirTV
My theory is that people who buy those boxes are actually paying part of the cost of the accessories, whether or not they actually buy the accessories.
Mark at Satellite TV | Dish Depot.com says he will have the newest model Dish Dual OTA Adapter Tuner sometime next week.
Some black spray paint would have it "match" quite nicely for $30 less.Because there are goofy people like me who like all their components to "match", regardless of the fact that nobody will ever see them.

Yes, but then it would run 20 degrees hotter than the white one.
Yep, the old OTA dual adapter runs a little hotter than the AirTV model. Posted temps in post #123. Old adapter was running 125F degrees, AirTV 99F.Just like the black one does now.
Here is the new one I am using on my Air TV at work. Works great. Does not get hot.

That is the same model I have on my Hopper Duo. Interestingly, that part number does not appear on the list someone posted a link to earlier in the thread:
OTA Information : DISH
Did it and it wasn't pretty. It was hard to get the two OTAs loaded, then the second one even while watching in full frame it skipped and stuttered. Putting it into record it really skipped. It acted like it does when you are a couple seconds off of live.

My AirTV dongle shipped and should be here Tuesday. Anxious to see how it performs with my Wally
