So... I'm on the Wally, is this so-called dual tuner for OTA ever going to work? Haven't heard much the past months and it was "promised" in May.

It has been available for months, Wally is only a single tuner so far, and they all seem to run hot.
 
My Joey 1 runs so hot I have a small computer case fan blowing on it all the time, if not - it is to hot to touch.
 
And this is supposed to be normal?

Can’t imagine so. If Charlie’s OTA dongle burns my house down, I’ll post my lawsuit filing here

Yep, it's normal. Keep in mind that Dish did not sell you that OTA dongle. It's not Charlie's dongle, so to speak. Next, 127F is not so hot as to cause a fire. Think about it, as ChadT41 mentioned a while back on this issue, it gets really hot in the sun all over the country and you don't get spontaneous combustion.
 

It doesn’t get to 127 very often. 127 F On a computer CPU and goodby CPU eventually

I would never have expected this much interest and discussion on here about Charlie's "dongle"
Which, of course, is alternative facts. Charlie didn't sell it although it just happens to work on some of his equipment...
 
I knew that and enjoyed your humor. I just wanted to ensure that people understand that they bought something that Dish didn't sell, or even support...
I thought I saw the Dual OTA Adapter one time in the on line mydish Order from Store section.
