Hi, can someone help me understand why I cannot use my Hopper for an ota dvr? we're still using it to watch dvr. Recordings . If I install a ota adapter , and scan?? It seems like the unit is completely functional except for no channels or guide. We lost what we had for a guide, which was all on demand when i disconnected the dish. We are still using the wired joey, and can still steam netflix. I appreciate any info to help me understand. Thanks...
I am not 100% certain but I believe that DISH simply does not allow you to record anything if you are not paying them. I know you want a more tecjnical answer but sometimes business trumps what is technically possible.
Dish sells satellite service. OTA is an afterthought. They don’t want to sell receivers just for OTA. Channel Master and others do that.
