    Hopper has been acting strange lately

    Delete the one that is showing and the other should be there. At least this is what I've discovered when I've had a similar experience.

    DISH's OTA Adapter replacement with silver insurance?

    Thanks for the information. Was hoping that if I do have to purchase another adapter that an AirTV would work since they are cheaper than the ones in the Dish store.

    DISH's OTA Adapter replacement with silver insurance?

    We have a Hopper 3 and in 2019 my husband installed an OTA antenna and I purchased a AIR TV adapter because it was the same but cheaper than the one Dish carried so if Dish was in dispute with a prime time channel and we could no longer watch those shows, we then had a back up. We've had a...

    Last night there was no issue recording Supergirl on my local CW channel. I waited 3 minutes into the program to see if it was recording on the DVR and the signal strength. To my pleasure it was recording and it recorded the entire hour with no error code. The signal strength was 88 and the...

    Charlie, you are such a sweetie but I can't accept the offer of borrowing an adapter. I will pull my paperwork and see what Dish has to say. Thanks.

    Looks like I am near the "digital cliff" per this website. My CW channel IS listed as POOR and if the signal does drop at 9:00 for this channel, then it could then change to BAD. It doesn't explain why Dish shows the signal strength of 100% for CBS for those times I got the same error codes at 9:00.

    Sam_gordon, don't have the outside antenna connected to the TV. The OTA coax is split between the Hopper and my DVD recorder. I suppose I could get a long length of coax and scan for the local channels on my TV. All local channels are fine on the DVD recorder. Unfortunately I can't check signal...

    Guess I'm confused. The AirTV adapter I have is the white one recommended by several Satellite Guy's members that is cheaper than the black one from Dish. Was told that the color is the only thing different. The paperwork that I received with my adapter said it WAS from Dish and if I had any...

    Dweber, as luck would have it if I purchased another AirTV Dual-Tuner Adapter it would not be he newer model.

    Reubenray, doubt that I checked the signal strength for this particular channel at 9:00 but will do so next week. I also have set up my DVD burner/recorder for that time and channel to see what happens there. Don't believe the issue is dew on the leaves but thanks for that suggestion.
