No it does not.

I have AT250 and saved... Ah... $12/mo IIRC by dropping my locals and going exclusively OTA.

thanks, i currently use the ota adapter with my hopper, i guess i will upgrade and stick with OTA….thanks

Yeah not worth paying $12.99/mo for channels that should be free. I hardly ever watch the local channels anyway, there just isn't much on them worth watching.

The top 250 does include locals.

Locals are included with each AT plan. You can get a discount if you ask that the locals be dropped.

The price DISH gives to customers generally includes locals. Tricky however because locals are not part of the package anymore they are an add on. So DISH often gives the price of the package with the locals add on.

What antenna do you recommend For a condo a shower there a special kind of OTA adapter I need?

 

[Jim5506]

Not sure what a shower has to do with it, but the dual tuner OTA adapter you want is either the black one with the Dish logo on it AND has a permanently attached usb cable or a white one with the AirTV logo on it. I have attached a photo of the back of my AirTv DUAL ADAPTER and a small pix of the Dish dual tuner adapter - note NO vent holes in either. The AirTv adapter is no longer available on the AirTV accessories page.

As for the antenna, that is entirely dependent on your location. Go to www.rabbitears.info and select the Signal Search Map under Tools. There you can use the map to zoom into your exact location and see what channels and RF frequencies you can easily receive. If you are limited to an indoor antenna you need strong signals to achieve stable reception.

Air tv works since it is made by DISH too. I still have an air tv dual tuner that actually will give you the percentage of lock on the station it self. You just have to hit info button and then recall and it will pop up. It's hooked up to my old hopper.

For whatever reason I was thinking locals were now $15 per month. I haven't logged into mydish in awhile so I thought I'd double check. Boy what a cluster it is now to navigate that site, not anywhere user friendly like it was. Anyway I was wrong and locals are still $12.
