I ordered my dual tuner a couple days ago on eBay and it arrives on Tuesday. How sensitive is it?
Is the new Dish dual OTA tuner as sensitive as the TiVo Bolt?

It doesn't like to be touched unless you take it to dinner and a movie first.
I don't know about the Tivo, but I can tell you the AirTV dual tuner adapter isn't as sensitive as my LG TV. Supposedly the AirTV adapter is made by the same company (Lark) as the new Dish dual tuner. The AirTV adapter does work on my HWS and it seems to be more stable than the old Dish dual tuner, but it does lose signal and pixelate where my LG does not.

LOL!! Good one!
i def wanna try the dual tuner ota dongle on my hopper. i know if i plug an antenna into my bedroom t.v. i get 150 channels OTA. it would be interesting to see how well it preforms on a hopper 3. and if it works well call dish and cancel the locals and save 12.00-13.00 a month that works for me
In the three days that I have used it I gotten excellent results. Of course time will tell if it’s better than the old single usb tuner but so far so good. I’m pretty fringe and get dropouts on occasion but I need to test this over a longer period.

I’d probably drop my locals too if it weren’t for me wanting my “moved” market and Primetime Anytime.
IMHO, the dish USB dual OTA tuner performs better than the TiVo Roamio or Bolt (I do not own a Bolt, but it has been confirmed by the techies at the TCF that the Bolt uses the very same OTA tuner as the Romio). Implementation and software can produce a difference in performance of the very same OTA tuner.
FWIW, the older generation Dish ViP built-in OTA and the later two tuner module for ViP performed the same as the TiVo Series 3, which was very good (I believe those tuners for TiVo and Dish were from the same manufacturer, which may explain why they performed identical) and better than the current dish USB dual tuner in my estimation.
As a rule, OTA tuners in televisions seem to perform the best.

i shut off the primetime on my hopper as i don't watch half the crap that's on during prime time!!! though like you said about your moved market i would have to resubscribe to my locals after i moved
i read that to tommy!! the t.v. in my bedroom is a 65 inch TCL and the tuner on that is awsome and my other t.v. is a sony XBR77A1E. i have never hooked an antenna up to it so i don't know how good it is on the sony. and my dealings with LG were not good i would not buy anything LG or lifes garbage again!!! LG is nothing more than the old goldstar brand if you remember them with a different badge on it
Lucky Goldstar bought Zenith. The brand name, at least.

As far as LG, they make very nice OLED TVs, and their OLED panels are in Sony, Panasonic, etc, etc.
Yep. And Sony circuitry makes better use of those panels.
And in the long run, Samsung’s approach to OLED will win out. We just need a (miracle) major technological advance or two. It’ll happen.

My new AirTV dual tuner picks up 39 channels, my Dish single tuner picks up 60 channels, my Bolt picks up 51 channels and My old TiVoHD picks up 76 channels. Guess which one I use?
Keep doing scans for your AirTV dual tuner. It may pick up additional channels. I had this issue too but finally I got the the rest of the channels or close to it.
Samsung doesn't make OLED anymore, the make QLED which is named so you can confuse the two, QLED is a normal LED/LCD TV with Quantum dots for additional color gamut.
Nope. I know the difference. Samsung still has their OLED research going, and I believe may have announced a future return to the product category. In the long run, getting rid of the filters LG uses for their “white” OLED will result in more efficiency and probably quicker, easier fabrication (fewer components).
Samsung leads in OLED displays for phones.
