I really hope that it actually is the same.
Maybe I should try mine "now" maybe it'll work
Do it! See what it does! Many included in the lates update for the H2WS
Until DISH provides OTA guide data is some form, I don't have use for a two tuner dongle or even a 16 tuner dongle.

Most is not enough, Dish and Directv both should be doing a better job of this. It was one of the reasons I ended up leaving Dish.
Out of 51 OTA channels, 14 have no guide data and 2 have incorrect guide data. Over 25% missing data....
That doesn't include 5 OTA channels that get no guide data that I delete from the scanned list.

I still don't understand why they can't work with Echostar, that manufactures the channel master dvr, and let us plug in to the internet for complete guide information for all ota channels and sub channels. This is do-able and an easy fix that would make all people happy. All they need is a software download to enable this feature so we could get complete guide information.
Just so everybody knows Gracenote is no longer owned by Tribune media it is now owned by Nielsen family rating systems

I'm with everyone on this, particularly concerning DISH who has been leading the fight about locals carriage cost. Make it even more attractive to use OTA by having a full guide.
Hopefully Nielsen Media Services will improve Gracenote

Well, I completely missed that, as I did the Tribune buyout from Sony.
Either that or my memory is going. 
Some but not all.
The Dot 3 sub channels I care about do not have Guide data. So hard to watch them or record things.
So some guide data is not good enough considering what we pay each month.

Lately I have been thinking of switching to the dark side (those other providers) as they have guide data for everything, maybe get that new 6 tuner tivo.
So hard, love dish, been with them for so many years.

Anyone tried that Hauppauge dual tuner USB gizmo that was shown earlier in the thread? I know Scott said that it might blow your H3, but I'm curious if anyone has given it a try? If so, what were your results?
I miss having a dual tuner OTA module and am getting impatient.

The Hoppers probably don't have the s/w and/or drivers for the new tuner yet, being a different supplier and all from the original OTA adapter (unless it was included in the U334/U336 release). My guess would be that it will be in another s/w update closer to the new tuners public release.
And Tribune just bought Gracenote a little over a year ago--I think. Boy, the fastest "flip" Tribune has made.
Edit: It was 2+ years ago. Boy time flies.
