You got the worlds worst CSR. Tuner dongle is needed for any antenna and of course you can DVR.

The only thing she MIGHT have gotten right is that your area might be considered high signal so an inside antenna is expected to be sufficient.

And not all markets qualify for the offer

She said "do you want to disconnect service?" I said yes but not now because I can't do anything until after the holidays.

Who are you going with, local cable or Directv ? Why can't you cancel now ? Any new provider can hook you up within days.

Yeah because technically I am in Philadelphia but the reality is I am on the edge of Bucks County/Phila border, the opposite end of where they broadcast from. On my 3rd floor bedroom where I just have a Roku and indoor Antenna, I can only get a few stations. I tried multiple different antennas too, and this is right next to a window.

This CSR was terrible though. She kept telling me she was sick and could not hear because she was all stuffed up. I kept telling her I would need the USB Tuner regardless but she kept insisting it was only for the outdoor antenna. I know that I could pop on any antenna into the USB Tuner and gain DVR & Guide support. And her "I don't care one way or the other" attitude put the nail in the coffin for me with Dish.

Why not contact DIRT? They may make you happy.

Everybody has bad CSRs, and everyone has a bad day.

Yes 2 channels at a time if you have the dual OTA tuner.

or one with the single OTA tuner.

My csr told me to unplug the remote antenna on the hopper 3 and connect my ota antenna there. Lol

Now that is too funny! For starters, the thread is different on each.

And somebody’s head wasn’t threaded on right, period!

That used to be the advice for ViP receivers with the OTA tuner built-in, except the idea was to unscrew the remote antenna and use it as an OTA antenna on the antenna input, if you live close enough to the broadcasters to get a watchable signal that way. Of course, that would leave you without the ability to control your receiver with a UHF remote, unless you bought another remote antenna.

Or used a splitter to attach the Remote Antenna at the receiver or 2 splitters to attach it to the back of the TV2

Going with Fios. I cannot do anything now until the holiday season is over. Too busy working 16+ hour days to deal with any of this right now.
