## Description

ITEM MAY BE DISH FACTORY REMAN ALL ITEMS ARE DISH CERTIFIED

Review: Dish OTA Module - Great device... recommended if one (or more) of your local channels are not offered in HD from Dish, or if you wish to expand your DVRs simultaneous recording ability. It was surprisingly simple to install and setup. The OTA channels will show up in your guide, and you'll be able to record with the OTA tuner in addition to the other two tuners. In other words, this will let you watch/record one OTA channel, record on another OTA channel, and record two other satellite channels at the same time. Why I bought it: While Dish does provide most of my local channels in HD, PBS-HD is not on the list. In addition to the PBS feed being SD, the edges are cut off of each side of the picture which is very annoying (and it's not a problem with the TV/DVR picture/format - Dish support has already tried). Not only has the OTA module solved my problem, but now I'm able to record enough shows at once to choke a donkey.
Review: With OTA antenna you can get the locals plus network subchannels - If you have a Dish Receiver with the slot that accepts this device, and you have an outdoor antenna that gets local channels, you might be able to drop the locals on your Dish Account and save $10 per month. It works great, and gives the added benefit that all or your OTA channels become integrated into the DVR recording and scheduling routines just like if you getting them from Dish. Not only that, with an OTA antenna, you can get the subchannels not available on the Dish program feed. The subchannels are often better than the main network feeds and provide a great lineup of 50's - 70's retro shows. Using this, you can record, playback, and use the channel schedule (except for the subchannels which do not provide this info) to see what is being broadcast in the future. It is a snap to install, but make sure to keep the access cover plate that comes off of the DVR in case you ever decide to remove it. It works great on my VIP 722k DVR, but may not work on later models. Your DVR must have the access slot on the far left of the back of the DVR when looking at it from the rear. This device will simply push in and connect much like a network or video card in a PC.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ With OTA antenna you can get the locals plus network subchannels

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It does what its supposed to do, and the only company to make this exact product is Dish manufacturers, so get the cheapest.
*by G***. on December 20, 2014*

It does what it is supposed to do, takes the signal from your antenna, decodes it, and injects it into your 722k or 222k HD Dish Receiver. It is a good, strong tuner, meaning if the signal is there, it will find and use it, which is better than most of those little digital tuner boxes and cheap televisions. It also adds the local channels you pick up to the channel guide, and shows you the relative signal strength of each channel. The other coax connection of the tuner adds a second coax output for the first tuner using channel 3 or 4, which comes in handy in a few situations. This is convenient to have if you also have an antenna, because you can watch those channels directly from the Dish receiver rather than switching inputs when you want to change. The only real drawback of this module is if your Dish loses signal, then you can't watch the locals from your antenna either (its a DRM thing, media companies love their "rights"). So if your wanting to use your antenna as a backup, you will have to have it connected directly to the TV rather than using this, or you can split the antenna line and use both.
