    Advice for Dish owned equipment dream set up?

    Don't be so sure about end-of-life for any of the ViP models just yet. I still have deactivated 512 receivers (standard-def DVR model) hooked up, and they are still chugging along just fine. The deactivated 512's even still work for free preview channels. That sounds like the older-model...

    OTA adapter

    The one with the holes in it, with a detachable USB cable is the old one tht runs hot. The new OTA adapter with no holes in the plastic case and with a non-removable USB cable, whether black (Dish) or white (AirTV), runs considerably cooler and is the better OTA USB tuner. There is one on eBay...

    OTA Adapter

    Back in November I read on this site that 2 of my locals could be lost to a contract dispute, so I called Dish about getting the Dish 2 tuner adapter. As I remember, they would not sell me the adapter, but for $150 they could come to my house and install the adapter. I explained that I already...

    OTA signal came back after Hopper 3 reboot. Why?

    That WAS the old dual OTA adapter made by Haupaugge that got hot.

    adapter running hot?

    I believe it always runs hot. I have one of the original Hauppauge dual tuners that runs hot, but it has never caused any problems for me. I suppose sometimes it's possible to get a good one.

    OTA signal came back after Hopper 3 reboot. Why?

    And the one I pictured in the first post is not? There were comments on the Amazon page that it did get hot. That is why I applied the fan. If I don't need it I can take it off and free up a plug. Sent from my SM-G965U1 using Tapatalk

    adapter running hot?

    The latest dual tuner adapter does not run hot. There was a previous model manufactured by Hauppauge that some people had overheating issues with. As long as you buy the latest model, you should be fine. It's the white one at the bottom of this page: Products | AirTV

    Did Dish fix their OTA Dual Tuner overheating problems?

    The single tuner has always run hot. They didn’t update the software to make it run hotter. One of the reasons they stopped selling the single tuner was because of this issue. They did add software support for the new dual tuner OTA adapter which runs much cooler. Both tuners were made by...

    adapter running hot?

    I bought the AirTV ota dual adapter for my Wally. At first, it worked great. It always ran hot. When it started pixelating and losing sound, I called AirTV. They totally denied any connection to DISH and said they didn't warranty them to run on DISH receivers. So, since most everyone else...

    Did Dish fix their OTA Dual Tuner overheating problems?

    I was wondering about this OTA adapter. Mine is red hot and my channels go out. I am pissed that an antenna that they installed now I have to pay for a new adapter cause they updated the hopper 3 software? Is there any class action litigation going on pertaining to this? I'm sick of losing local...

    Joey pixelation

    Ok, it will be interesting to see if that is the problem. All I know is that the old dual tuner adapter got very hot but I don't remember anyone saying that they had a problem with the Dish channels, only OTA.

    Pixelated image on tvs fed by Joeys

    Did you change your OTA Adapter?? And I didn't see this asked, but while the Joeys are pixelating, unplug the OTA adapter from the Hopper and see if they clear up. I they do, then you know the problem

    Nobody ever did, until Hipkap started the theory, which I disagree with. He reacts before he has all the facts.

    Pixelated image on tvs fed by Joeys

    An update with continued frustration. The tech came out and replaced the coax cable that goes from the dish to the Hopper since it was in bad shape and the outer jacket was slightly split. He replaces the Hopper and the usb-ota adapter; he replaced my existing dual tuner with another dual tuner...

    any chance for a new dual tuner ota dongle?

    OH no HipKat, you broke our hearts!! Are these two attached pics the new model Dual OTA Adapter? I don't don't think it is.

    Dual OTA adapter for Hopper causes reboots.

    The dual channel OTA adapter has its bugs. In my case, it works for the most part but it loses signals from time to time and/or the sound drops out, also from time to time. For the most part a quick move to an adjacent channel and right back again resolves these issues. Some days it's pretty...

    What OTA USB Unit to Look For, For a Hopper/Sling

    I just purchased the OTA dual adapter. It works great, but it’s extremely hot almost too hot to touch. I’ve searched and it seems to be a common problem. Is anyone here experiencing this? It seems like it could be a fire hazard. My set up is totally in the open so no airflow issues.

    Hopper not seeing OTA module

    I have the Hopper 2 (HWS). That's useful info. I appreciate it. I think I'm going to go with this one on eBay. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

    What OTA USB Unit to Look For, For a Hopper/Sling

    It does get quite warm, as most have experienced, but with a setup out in the open like you mention, I don't think it would cause any major issues.

    Dual OTA tuner not as Sensitive as old Single Tuner and gets very Hot

    I tried 4 different scans and found 35 channels, 33 channels, 35 channels, and 35 channels. I then reinstalled my old single tuner and got back the 44 channels. I am more concerned about how hot the new dual tuner got. My old tuner was always cool. This new dual tuner was very hot. Can...

    Hopper 3 Dual-Tuner OTA Adapter USB Question

    It also works on the front USB port on the Hopper. The module gets very hot so if it is placed inside an enclosed cabinet it may overheat and malfunction.

    New Dual Tuner OTA Adapter

    Same as the Hauppauge Model 01595, but doesn't appear to work under Linux because it has a different Device ID: https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-dualHD When I checked my Dish OTA adapter in Kubuntu Linux: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 2040:826f Hauppauge Device Descriptor...
