Yes. It'll even utilize both tuners if you add an EHD and pay $40 to activate it.

Thank you, 2 different installers told him it wouldn't do OTA.
Thank you, then two different Dish installers just didn't want to mess with it, he is an Orby convert. Dish told him he could get OTA when he put in the order, they said the OTA adapter would be included.
Now that would be different. The OTA adapter is a sales item and not usually given away by DISH. He could go back to DISH and ask them to send him an adapter if they have that conversation recorded. Of course an antenna is also required with the adapter.
The adapter is included with the dish/orby deal...Dish has its own halfas* way of determining if you receive locals by OTA so it's possible they determined that his location wouldn't pickup locals therefore not giving him the adapter

Back in November I read on this site that 2 of my locals could be lost to a contract dispute, so I called Dish about getting the Dish 2 tuner adapter. As I remember, they would not sell me the adapter, but for $150 they could come to my house and install the adapter. I explained that I already have an outdoor antenna with a connection available at my Dish receiver and was capable of installing it myself, but they still won't sell just the adapter to me. I bought the AirTV Dual Tuner Adapter which works fine and was reasonably priced. It runs warm, not hot.
There was a dispute which has ended. I'm still using the adapter to record some programs from the local CBS station because OTA looks better than satellite locals.

I would call tech support and tell them that the installer didn't install the adapter and it's suppose to be included in the install..It clearly stated in the promo that the OTA adapter is included.. even if you get them to send one out it's very easy to install
I wanted to tell people about my absurd experience with Dish when I tried to buy their OTA adapter back in November. As noted, I bought the AirTV Dual Tuner Adapter.
I am guessing that all go through your ISP. Is it blocking domain name resolution for a potential competitor? (I hope that's illegal.) Can you switch DNS to 8.8.8.8 and see if it works then?
For the record, I can see the page fine as well.
I can get on the webpage fine currently using t-mobile on a Motorola phone but when I go to the bottom of the products page where the accessories are and try to add anything to my cart it just takes me back to the top of the products page.. won't add anything in accessories to the cart but will let me add products like a Airtv tuner
I struggled to order that tuner from the same web site. The part wouldn't go to cart!. I used Chromebook. This was in the fall. Tried several days with no luck. And ,all of a sudden I managed to order with the same Chromebook laptop. Keep trying. it feels warm when you touch it. I get the same warmth from one Joey 2. no problems so far.
