Doubtful, since Dish has not sold them directly. That would be up to you and whoever you bought it from.

Dish most certainly sells the dual tuner ota USB adapter - just checked in the online store. 59.99 for those who are interested.

I got a usb single dongle from a Forum member here and it works good on my Hopper Duo but 1 channel has no audio
any idea why?
any idea why?
I had the dual OTA USB for my Wally and it was just plain awful technology, I paid $70 for it, I sent it back and got refunded for it, then bought a $90 vip211k and its OTA adapter is outstanding, albeit only single tuner.
For clarification, the ViP211k has the OTA tuner built-in. It is the ViP211z that needs the single-tuner adapter.
Does that channel have audio when you connect the antenna directly to the TV? If so, I had the same issue one time with one channel for about a week, with the OTA tuner built-into a ViP211. Then, the problem seemed to fix itself. I am guessing it is something the broadcaster is doing that makes that channel incompatible with that particular tuner.
Correct, the ViP211z requires the $70 dual USB OTA adapter that will explode if you install it.
Did Dish ever get the ViP211z to actually work with the dual-tuner adapter at all? The last I heard, the ViP211z had been abandoned, and only supports the original single-tuner USB OTA adapter.Correct, the ViP211z requires the $70 dual USB OTA adapter that will explode if you install it.
Im not sure about the 211z as I never had an interest in that model. I have read the single tuner OTA USB adapter is better than the newer dual tuner one. If you don’t mind the older and a bit slower vip211k I would go with one of those models.
Take the cpu fan out of an old desktop, double sided sticky tape it to the tuner, power it with a wall wart, problems disappear. Tuner is still a genuine POS, but this kluge makes it work, gets all local channels.
These the the very best and bees knees. I use them everywhere I need whisper quiet cooling. Behind my Denon receiver, blowing onto the router and cable modem downstairs, cooling the hopper.
Amazon product ASIN B00080G0BK
$14 bucks, variable speed with a knob to get just the right cooling flow and if you don't turn it up all the way, you can't even hear them in a night time, all devices off, mode.
I have about 6 of them with 2 extras on my pegboard for just in case.
