Dish OTA adapter with more than 2 tuners?

[marklyn]

Is there a Dish OTA adapter with more than 2 channel recording capability? I have a Dish branded OTA adapter that I purchased when I set up service in May 2023 but I can only record 2 OTA channels at once. Is there another make/model that allows for at least 4 recordings at once?

Unfortunately no. Many of us wish there would be a 4 tuner version but it's not going to happen.

There is the 4 tuner Next Gen ota dvr: Tablo that record 4 shows at the same time. There is also the more expensive 4 tuner ota dvr: AirTV Anywhere that can be used with or without Sling TV. I have both of them and they work reliably and the Air TV Anywhere ota dvr can integrate into the Sling TV app and it is all in one place. Even if you have no programming with Sling TV there is Free Sling channels that you can watch with ads. I prefer the TABLO if I had to pick one. It has a good interface and is easy to use and no monthly fees for the Tablo or the Air Tv Anywhere device.

***You can buy Air TV anywhere device from Amazon too. If it no longer is offered on the Air Tv website.

Interesting, but have some questions that I couldn't find on their website.
Can the Tablo OTA's in any way be incorporated into Dish's guide? (guessing no)
Does the Tablo have other streaming apps on the device or is it used by using a tablo app on another device (ie: roku)?
The second question is relevent if I wanted to replace my chromecast in my bedroom and yet have ability to stream Netflix, Hulu, etc, all from the tablo device or app.

No

You use the Tablo on a streaming device, first you install the app, then view.

The second question is relevent if I wanted to replace my chromecast in my bedroom and yet have ability to stream Netflix, Hulu, etc, all from the tablo device or app.

Recommend the new Roku Ultra, everything works perfectly, including Tablo.

The Dish two tuner OTA adapter is weak enough at pulling in signal as it is. Splitting the signal again might make it almost unusable.

I have noted that even my TiVo receivers with 4 OTA tuners are much less sensitive to weak OTA signal than are the two tuner models.

Agreed. Please see my post (#19) just made in the thread “ ROKU Ultra 2024 advice needed “

The only way you could use them on the same interface is if you add the DISH + receiver to the Hopper for $5.00 more a month, that lets you add any website you want to it. Then you just switch from DISH to Tablo or Air Tv Anywhere through the Sling app. It's all one interface for everything.

The TABLO device doesn't allow you to stream anything but the ota channels and the pre loaded streaming channels on the device through the TABLO App on your network. Neither does the Air TV Anywhere device except the local ota channels through the free Sling app and the Free sling channels that come with it.
