    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

    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.

    Yeah the OTA adapter keeps it nice and hot for you

    Yeah, make it so the OTA adapter is built into a warming plate for your coffee or tea! Scott Adams would license the product, I'm sure.

    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.

    OTA signal came back after Hopper 3 reboot. Why?

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

    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 Sound Dropping on Recordings Playback....

    Somewhat frequently, but now all of the time especially on the OTA for the Scripps channel the sound is dropping almost continuously. The Scripps channel is kinda the opposite. It's mostly no audio with a "Drop In" every so often. The picture is for the most part perfect. Some pixelation every...

    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

    Hopper install

    Does anybody have the sling adapter and the ota module just curious how good they work and I read somewhere that the ota tuner gets really hot is this true?

    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

    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

    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?

    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...

    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.

    Pixelated image on tvs fed by Joeys

    Not really, the problem was with the single tuners, not the hot duals. It was a firmware issue that Dish could not seem to find a solution to.

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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.
