Best Overall: western Digital Satellite Dish Tuner

Buy on Amazon

The western digital satellite dish tuner is long-lasting, rigid and fits well with your regular usage like a dream. It provides a better picture when using a dome-style winegard satellite. It allows you to record one program at a time when a dedicated external hard drive (ehd) (not included) is connected to the receiver. It works well, and can even be turned into a dvr by adding a usb external hard drive. The remote control is awesome with everything on it you need for dish, tv, and auxiliary.

The wally is a single receiver where you will have to split the hdmi signal. It comes with a high speed hdmi cable. The unit powered up, paired with the provided remote, and boots the Playmaker up. The Dish has menus which will pop up on the TV screen telling you the info you will need and a phone number to call to activate. The nice feature is the dual tuners so you can record one show and watch another.

• Easy to set up and activate
• Works fine as a primary receiver
• One of the new comers and featured product

Best For tailgate: Pace international Satellite Dish Tuner

Buy on Amazon

The pace international satellite dish tuner is capable of outshining several other tuner featured in this list in overall features in its price range. This is the 3rd receiver for three different rvs and they are real easy to install. It is designed by 3rd party and hardware driven so its impossible to change the design of the menu. It will use the OTA USB device to pick up any local channels without having to change your zip code. It would be hooked up the same as your receiver at home.

There is some sort of anti-piracy mechanism that gets activated when watching certain channels over the SD feed while the HD feed is hooked to a television that is powered down. The quality of the HD is great. It is easy to change locations when traveling. It does use the same USB hard drive for DVR'ing, pausing, etc. It is a 10 dollar fee to have an additional box per month.

• Easy to set up, and good customer service from dish
• Perfect for the tailgfgater or camper
• Achieving compatibility required resetting a switch in the receiver
• Response times are much faster due to higher power cpu

Best With Digital Antenna: Dish Satellite Dish Tuner

Buy on Amazon

We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a convenient and appropriate tuner. The dish satellite dish tuner is exactly that - it's a simple tuner that hits all the right notes. If you already have a OTA antenna this device keeps you from having to switch the source/input on your TV to watch the OTA channels. It is great for integrating ota channels into your dish receiver. It is intended to be used with the hopper family of dvrs and the wally receiver. It needs a USB port to plug into so it needs to plug into the Hopper. If you have anything but a signal with a bit error rate other than zero, this tuner won’t pick up the channel.

The unit should lay flat on the shelf or behind the Hopper. It will work with most relievers that have a USB plug.

• Works great with the dish hopper
• Gets all the locals, no signal loss in picture
• You connect an outdoor antenna coax cable to receive local digital channels
• You can record satellite channels while watching any ota channel

Best For home Use: Dish another Hopper

Buy on Amazon

The dish another hopper should be able to handle its purpose and duties with ease. It must be a Wingard Traveler, not one of the other Wingard satellite dishes. It allows users to record up to 16 shows at once, connect up to 6 joeys. The Sling allows you to watch your shows and recordings from your DVR (Hopper) on your other devices besides your TV. This requires a 1000.2 dish with a Hybrid LNB & solo hub. It allows using older lnbs to be used with the hopper3 system.

The hopper 3 requires a hybrid lnb & solo hub, and the hopper with sling uses a 1000.2 LNB & solo node. It has to be a fixed dish which sees all three satellites at one time. It displays future showings and if your show is not available in the near future it gives you the option to record when available, also gives you the option to watch the trailer of your selection.

• You can watch 4 "split screen" events at one time
• Great dvr and dish receiver, highly recommend for a great upgrade
• Good investment for long term

Best With Sling: Dish Network Satellite Dish Tuner

Buy on Amazon

We would, of course, be remiss if we didn't mention dish network satellite dish tuner for daily purpose. The only outdoor Dish antennas you will be able to use with the ViP922 are the 'Trav'ler. It has a built in ethernet over powerline receiver. It automatically syncs a unique RF ID w/ it's remote, That's right Folk's It's stock remote is RF, no need to point, and it's a killer remote. The user interface is beautiful, and you will love the additional features in grouping and categorizing recordings.

The final benefit of the adapter is that you don't have to worry the next time some greedy broadcast network cuts service to Dish to strongarm them into a new contract because you'll get them from your antenna and not the satellite. It also manages external Hard drives very easily.

• Helps with tv commercial volume spikes
• Lot of satisfied buyers
