FIRST LOOK - Hopper OTA Module

[aaronwt6]

Which sucks because the only hopper I have is at the office and does not have a mydish account and the normal supply chain does not have them Grrrrrrr.

Where are you located? I'm sure myself or someone closer could probably help get one in your hands.

Here's the OTA part number for everyone, 194858.

I sure hope that I'll be able to get one for the office soon also. Sadly it seems the normal supply chain will not have them available for a while.

Cannot order from store as I have a dish mover appointment set up. Can I use the chat to order one or can DIRT help?

On the bottom of the main forum page, you'll see the usernames in red with @DISH Network at the end. Those are official reps from Dish that are active on the forum right now. Just send them a private message with your account or phone number.

Now that we have the part number, why not just call and order?

Can 2 OTA tuners be connected to a single Hopper in order to record 2 different OTA channels simultaneously?

Apparently not.

the info from Scott previously indicated that you would only be able to use one per hopper.

I'm guessing someone will actually report trying it out in the next few days just to see what happens.

Thanks

Would you like me to order one for you?

 

[skyviewmark]

Just ordered two on dish website.. Maybe software will be here by the time they get here.

BTW I should note we have had a number of SatelliteGuys members using the OTA tuner for awhile now. If they want they can identify themselves and help other members with any OTA questions you might have.

My question is where is the loss of signal percentage on this OTA Module.Say for example my MT2's loss of percent is at 58% on the OTA signal meter.Then the signal freezes and becomes unwatchable.Thanks for all replies.

If I am reading your question right, when you tune to a OTA channel and press the info button you will see info on the show and signal strength-Hope this helps

Here is a example from a OTA channel

Will this work on a Dish 311 receiver?

 

[rdale]

If the 311 is code for the Hopper.

How is picture quality compared to the Dish HD channel?

Appreciate the reply didn't know if you could bring up the OTA signal meter in the banner of the Hopper or what.

Guess we need someone who has some weak channels to see at what percentage the picture freezes,that's what I'm curious to know,but if you can't see it,except in the info display it maybe difficult to see.
