I have the Dish OTA for my Hopper and it's the best tuner in the house. Beats the other three tuners in bringing in stations with multipath and it's sensitive enough to bring in a couple distant stations that the other sets show "No Signal" for. The only thing I don't like about it is the slow response time when changing channels. Sometimes it can take up to 15 seconds for a station to lock in.

In my house, the Hopper USB OTA tuner is the lowest performing of the bunch. All TV internal tuners perform better and can lock on my most distant and difficult signals. Sometimes the Hopper gives the "no signal" message on these.

The only thing that I do not like about is is that you cannot tune to a specific frequency to tune a channel; you can only scan. It shows it as an option on the screen, but it says "feature coming soon" when selected.
 

I hope this does not kill what possible subchannels I could get in the future.

Need OTA advice please
