    Can other OTA tuners with USB output work for DISH Hopper?

    You could try a Hauppauge WinTV 950Q USB TV Tuner. IF you can still get one, as I believe it'll work with the Dish receiver.

    Can other OTA tuners with USB output work for DISH Hopper?

    Ok then. That's just about the best possible setup you could use. I have 3 of them myself, all combined with a SMARTKOM... I live in a very difficult neighborhood. The top antenna is at 42ft, and points North North-West.

    Can other OTA tuners with USB output work for DISH Hopper?

    The Zapperbox uses Sony tuners, AND it has a built-in preamp front end to the tuners. That's why it does better. But, that's not usable as a Dish OTA tuner. Does your antenna system have a preamp on it?

    Can other OTA tuners with USB output work for DISH Hopper?

    A better tuner isn't the answer, you need a better antenna system.

    Peacock jacking their rates even higher!

    Usually IF you wait until during the last week of your sub to cancel, there'll be a pop-up discounted offer. Not typically as good as the Black Friday deal, but a better offer than full price.

    The FCC Will Allow ABC, CBS, FOX, & NBC TV Stations to Shutdown Free ATSC 1.0 & Switch to ATSC 3.0 Only

    So is the FCC apparently. They seem ready to give the providers anything they want. ALL they need to do, is demand the removal of DRM, and ATSC 3.0 will take off like a Space-X rocket. The non-exploding ones, instead of the exploding ones...

    Maybe the same as Windows 10? Read my thread here: Clone Dell M.2 SSD boot drive, that has Bitlocker? Just check this post by Arlo for sure: Clone Dell M.2 SSD boot drive, that has Bitlocker?

    Any chance of OTA?

    Nobody can guess that. But I'd think it'll stay around. ATSC 3.0 will die, UNLESS they remove DRM. The advertisers will see to that, once they see people can't watch their ads.

    Any chance of OTA?

    People sell used towers on Facebook Marketplace, or Craigslist all the time. You can usually get a good 40 footer for a couple hundred bucks, maybe less. They come in 10' sections, and it isn't that hard to set them up. I got mine for $35 total. It's 30ft, but I have a heavy steel 12 foot mast...

    Any chance of OTA?

    See those BLUE mileage hyperlinks, such as: 73.2, 69.5, 74.8, etc? CLICK on those, and they'll show you the signal propagation between the tower and YOUR antenna for that channel. You'll see if you are dealing with it bouncing off mountain ridges and such. IMO, this is the best antenna out...

    You need to think, and reverse-engineer what you did when using this plugin. Did you use capitals, did you insert spaces, etc, etc... IF you can't figure out what you changed your password to, you'll likely need to blow away the slot and reload it from scratch. OpenWebif - Update SDA_FL_USA

    Peacock jacking their rates even higher!

    I don't know. We are on the $19.99/year plan special from last year Black Friday. I've managed to grab this 3 years in a row so far. Hopefully it happens again. We mainly have it because my wife wants Days of Our Lives. That's worth $19.99, but no more.

    Peacock jacking their rates even higher!

    Just received this email: I'll be canceling, and waiting to see if there's another Black Friday special. If not, that's it for us. IMO, Peacock isn't worth anywhere near $79.99, much less $109.99!

    Build a separately powered interface dual relay box with a more powerful transformer, say 6 amps 36 volts. It gets hooked to your dish motor, and the input to it is run by the V-Box. So the V-Box never sees a huge power drain, as ALL it controls is the relays in the interface box. You can get...
