I've even used unpowered hubs, for example, 3 powered EHDs + Sling on an unpowered hub. i have the OTA adapter on the other USB slot on the back of the Hopper.
Powered hubs should probably be used if you have more than one device that needs power (such as a wireless adapter + Sling, or wireless adapter + OTA dongle on the hub.)
