I would guess all Hoppers. But wait until others report back. Don’t want a bunch of people getting mad at me if it don’t work. :)

Come come now Mr. G. You know we are a kind, gentle crowd who never get mad at anyone. It is against our individual and collective nature.

Any news HipKat? I'm getting excited! :coco
I never got to the shop today, but I did call a customer from Monday ands asked him out of the blue to see if the adapter seemed hot and he said it was just a little warm. I asked if he was using OTA on his Joeys and he said only on one in the Basement watching baseball, and no problems, but hasn't recorded anything

They have lots of guide issues in the DC area. Listings for 20-0, 50-0, and 68-0 all reflect the station they channel share with. and most of the subchannels have no guide data.
That's typical. Like on mine, GetTV, Bounce, et al only show the channel name. I'd post a pic, but looks like tinypic is down :(

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.

hope you guys that ordered these new tuners will give us a report

I ordered an AirTV Dual Tuner Adapter from AirTV last Friday. Order status is still open for some reason. I don't know if they are out of them or if it is the weekend / holiday. Tried to call AirTV but the wait time is 18 minutes. Don't have the patience to wait that long. Will try again later.

Mark at Satellite TV | Dish Depot.com has the newest model DISH Dual OTA Adapter Tuner on order from Echo in Atlanta. He should have them Wednesday. I am going to order one from Mark after he receives them.

Will have an AirTV model on one Hopper 3 and one from DISH on my other Hopper 3. What OTA test do you recommend when I have both dual adapters installed?
