Another version of Dual Channel OTA Tuner from DISH Store?

[Almighty1]

Is this a newer version of the OTA Dual Tuner as this is what I see on the DISH Store on my.dish.com:

as I thought this was the only one that had the DISH logo on it, is this one any better?

If you zoom in, you can see vents, which look like this one from Walmart. Definately not a new one, and with overheating complaints in reviews.

Robot or human?

I think this is a Over The Air adapter that you connect to your local TV source and i have one

The Walmart reviews in some of them also mention it's the one without the vents that overheats and to get the one with the vents while the other ones didn't specify if the overheating one has the vents or not.

Both of them are Over The Air = OTA Dual Tuner Adapters except there has to be pluses and minuses of both models.

I have a very old version similar to the bottom picture. The tuner picks up stations no other device can. I love it! I have two currently and should get one more. I will look on eBay for one like I have now.

The top picture is a horrible design with no USB cable it covers the second USB on the back of a Hopper or hangs out the front with all that tension on the USB.

This is what I recomend!

I have the same one you have which is from my original install of DISH and the Hopper in November 2012 but that's a single tuner model. I have the one on the bottom of my original post as well which is the Dual Tuner model. And I agree with what you said from the photo but one of the photos shows it comes with a USB Extension female to male cable

I did not know they had a dual OTA tuner. That might be nice to have.

Been out long time now. They work great.

That was why I was asking since it seems like there are lots of complaints about the Dual OTA tuner model and as there are multiple models, perhaps one of the models is actually the better model such as being able to pick up more channels and being more reliable.

Yeh, I bought my AirTv version at least 5 yrs ago.

I have the (bottom picture) Dual OTA Adapter from Dish, it is not picking up any channels!! If I disconnect it and just use TV tuner I get over 50 channels! Why will it not get even 1 channel?

Have tried to remove the adapter, pull the Hopper power cord reboot, & then re-install the adapter?

Yup

 

[TheKrell]

Yup

I think your adapter is dead. I don't know which one is depicted in the bottom photo, but the early adapters ran rally hot. Heat is the enemy of electronics.

 

[charlesrshell]

Yup

Did you try a different USB port?

Ok I took it off again and opened the cover and drilled a ton of holes in it and put it back together, restarted everything and.......it worked!!

I noticed my older version runs warm and it has many vents on it.

Yeah without the holes it was hot, now it's just a little warm. Hopefully this does the trick.
