Is it possible to use 2 OTA modules on the H3 simultaneously?

I am able to pick up both Phoenix and Tucson locals at my location. The Tucson antenna is connected via USB OTA and Phoenix locals are on dish.

When I combined both antennas using a two-way splitter, I starting getting RF reflections.
They work perfectly when connected individually.

I would purchase another ota module and run each antenna separate if allowed.

Thanks for your help.

One OTA module per Hopper is the limit.

Yes, unfortunately, you would need a second Hopper to be able to add the second OTA adapter.

Considering all those many OTA sub Channel services available today, a USB OTA for Dish equipment with say at least four tuners with actually be very useful certainly in my case.

I'm shocked you can DX with an OTA module. I'm 12 miles from South Mountain and the Phoenix locals drop out all the time with my ViP 612.

The single-tuner OTA adapter can actually be quite good. I used to have several channels from Detroit scanned into the guide on my Wally from the old single-tuner adapter. After re-scanning with the dual-tuner adapter, I no longer have any of them.
