Digital Over-The-Air Tuner for ViP 211z Receiver Amazon product ASIN B00B4X2JHY
This is the one I ordered and is still working great! However it is not what is pictured and is more expensive than the dual tuner that is listed elsewhere on Amazon.
No doubt. I only see one of the single tuner dongles available on Amazon and it's $89. I can't find any on Ebay. I see some dual's for less than $50.
I still have a single tuner but I cannot remember do the channels show up on the joeys also? I'd like to know before I run a new cable to hook it up to hopper 3.
Yes the Joey guide matches the hopper guide that it is connected to. Remember that the Joey is only a slave and the hopper is actually doing the tuning.
I think you missed the fact that a (Amazon) single tuner was ordered but a dual was delivered
So he got double ripped off, could have bought it elsewhere for $50.
FWIW i gave up on the dual tuner adapter. and am back to the single tuner. I was high on it particularly when I saw it work well ina friend's installation but I would up giving up a significant number of stations (though signal strength seemed similar) and that outweighed the convenience of the second tuner.
I'm selling one of the single tuners on Ebay right now. If anybody is interested, it shouldn't be too hard to find, it's the only one currently for sale and starting bid is $29.99 
I decided I'm going back to the dual now that the functionality works on my new H3.

In a case of what I felt was a Dongle about to go bad or already defective, Mark over at Dish Depot was awesome exchanging out my 6mon. old one for a new one. This one now works like it should. Wish Hauppauge made these things a little better. Props again to Mark & DD.
I hope it finds a good home.I'm selling one of the single tuners on Ebay right now. If anybody is interested, it shouldn't be too hard to find, it's the only one currently for sale and starting bid is $29.99
FWIW, your mention of Dish Depot's customer service (one of many mentions of them I've read on this forum) prompted me to order a dual tuner USB OTA adapter from them this week as opposed to ordering one on eBay...well, that and I found out they're just a few hours away from me on the west coast of Florida...located in Ft. Myers on Palm Beach Blvd.
So the address REALLY rung my karma bell, because I live on the east coast of Florida in Palm Beach County. But it's not until you drive wayyyyyy out west in the middle of the state (pretty much out of Palm Beach) that SR 80 becomes Palm Beach Blvd. - which I sort of understand, because SR 80 is a boring name and you wouldn't want to call it "Middle of F'ing Nowhere Blvd.", which while technically is a more accurate name, seems far less flattering. Ft. Myers is nice, though, and apparently they call it that there also.
Ironically, here in Palm Beach County, SR 80 is referred to as Southern Blvd., which is even MORE ironic, because it's not southern to the county - quite the opposite - it's the exact middle of the county, and in fact all addresses are calculated by their distance from Southern Blvd (or the beach - depends on where your front door is).
I found it all too coincidental, multiplied by irony + good references = had to order from them.
DD must have moved recently. They used to be in Naples on Tamiami Tr. Used to drive by the building they were in when we go down to our home there.

it will be interesting to see wich way dish goes with the dongle when locals start broadcasting in 4k
I’d say that’s a couple years off. At least.
