    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...

    Advice for Dish owned equipment dream set up?

    I totally get your point. I guess its nostalgia and I know they are coming to EOL. I wish I would have known years ago that I could have owned my own equipment. I did find that my OTA adapter I bought a few years ago runs really hot so I stopped using it as it seemed it had a hard time with a...

    adapter running hot?

    I was wanting to purchase the OTA adapter for hooking my OTA antenna into my hopper 3. I have read reviews on this adapter and some says it gets very hot and some were afraid to keep it hooked up.. Has anyone in the satellite guy community experienced this problem with this adapter. thanks

    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 Adapter

    Go look on the Walmart site. Make sure you select the right one.

    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...

    Joey pixelation

    More happened, couldn't watch a recording done earlier today , not from pixelation, just very jerky. I was recording on a OTA channel, & it stopped, lost all OTA. The adapter wasn't hot, just warm. Tomorrow I'll try to extend the adapter to see if that helps.

    Video breakup on Joey caused by OTA adapter?

    This does happen, and my solutions are this: (1) unplug the OTA adapter, and (2) restarting the Joey from time to time. Not optimal. but seems to solve it f for a bit. I do not know why. I have noticed that the OTA adapter gets very hot.

    Pixilization

    Sounds like it's getting hot./ One thing I see people on here say they've done is plug a Laptop cooling dock into a USB Port on the hopper and set the OTA Adapter on it to keep it cool.

    Video breakup on Joey caused by OTA adapter?

    For what it's worth, I used nylocks to strap a computer fan to my OTA adapter and it works better. It takes a USB plug power source. I got that suggestion from the forum and who ever that is, thank you. Sent from my SM-G965U1 using Tapatalk

    Pixilization

    Maybe so, but it doesn't seem like it in my case. If it is overheating, why does changing to an OTA channel from the Joey and then back to a satellite channel resolve the problem for the rest of that night's viewing? Watching/recording OTA always seems to work just fine.

    Joey pixelation

    This - exactly my scenario - dongle in front, completely open air, hot, but not dangerously hot compared to other USB or HDMI dongles in similar deployments. Since I added it I have to reboot my Hopper 3 almost daily or my Joeys are pixelated and unusable - nothing is using WiFi, they're MOCA...

    bad picture quality on wireless joey

    If it has good airflow around it, it's better but if not, it gets very hot and that's when Joeysstart to pixelate

    bad picture quality on wireless joey

    It helps you by removing the Internet connection from being a reason for your problem. Do you have an OTA Antenna connected to your Hopper? Is it the older Dish adapter or the newer Lark adapter, if so? The older adapter gets hot and causes pixelation on the Joeys

    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?

    another question Does the adapter always run hot or just when you are viewing or recording OTA channels?

    adapter running hot?

    The AirTv adapters do not run "hot" at all, whatever, whenever. Period.

    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

    OTA signal came back after Hopper 3 reboot. Why?

    I've heard the OTA adapter can get hot, so I bought a USB fan and attached it to the adapter. Once I found the fan plug came out and it had been that way for some time. It was not hot. With the fan running ever since the behavior of it has not changed. However it occurs to me that the microfan...

    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

    Shuttering and Pixelation

    I don't know what is really causing it. It is also only my joeys that have the problem, on Satellite and ota channels, so I don't know what part the ota adapter plays in the issue but when I unplug it the pixelation goes away. It is the newest ota adapter and doesn't feel hot or anything when...

    Locals connect or reconnect fee?

    Tuner sensitivity is a big player. Neighbor runs straight into a Sony flat screen. The DISH OTA adapter is much less sensitive it seems and probably why the thing runs so hot - electricity is being converted into heat.
