You shouldn't have a problem (as long as the hub has its own power supply).

Got my tracking number too!
Just checked the shipping status at dish and had a tracking number. It says it will be here Thursday!
I think your TV is up-side-down!
I ordered two tuners late 11/13 afternoon/early evening. I'm hoping the next business day will see an order fullfilled on my account and not backordered.
lol not sure why that happened, but when you click on the picture it's shows it normal
Am I the only one around here with a serious cabling problem? I have 3 VIP receivers, all of which have my rooftop antenna diplexed over the singular RG6 cable. I will have to double-up on all cabling just to use this tuner. Wish Dish had gone with an HDHomeRun instead.
They are what's being broadcast. They may be HD, and I'd thnik most are, but the subchannels are likely SD. Each market is different.
I have another question (sorry guys) which will decide if i get the ota module...when I move...im being told you need an antenna...question is how difficult is it to set one up when I get a new house...i would really like to take advantage of the ota tuner but i would hate to get it and then not be able to use it when we move...
if you dont have the antenna you wont be able to get channels correct??? is there a certain one which you can buy and if so how difficult is it to set up??? i belive you can get an indoor antenna...is that true???
Thanks

Do you see a notable change in picture quality when you flip back and forth? How about the difference in time delay?

This may not be the best idea but it worked for me and I picked up all the ota locals in the dever area. I took a 3ft piece of coax cable and stripped down one side so the metal in the middle is sticking out and that is connected to the USB dongle and hanging behind my tv and I pick up all my ota stations and the quality is great.
When I change from a local OTA to local non OTA there is a delay of a few seconds, with the OTA local happening "first" then the regular non OTA local behind

Yeah I'm not an ota addict like some of the people on here so that was a quick way to pick up ota channels without spending money on a fancy ota antenna. I've heard of a guy in the past who had a chain link fence running around his property and he connected coax to an ota module and stripped the end like I did and hooked that bare wire to his fence and basically turned his fence into a HUGE antenna.
Believe it or not I use a paperclip for an antenna on many of my TV's and it works great because the signals are so strong here. (Although the Hopper OTA module uses my rooftop antenna.)
