I have Dish Network, and I can't get Over the Air channels like MeTv. Will this antenna let me bypass Dish when I want to watch OA?

Absolutely yes ....this is a really good product ....in fact if you want to really save some cash, cut your dish down to internet only, and then buy a Roku HD stick ..... I now spend less than $40 a month....

Depends in how far away from TV towers. I couldn't get any channels and the ones that did come in froze ever few seconds. I'd find a friend with one and try it out before you buy. Waste of money for me.

Yes. But you need to set your TV to antenna, not cable. You may need to go through a couple of steps each time you want to switch.

I have Dish and it works with it. I shouldn't conjecture about Direct. It also works with Over the Air for me.

I have had no problems with this antenna. Channels come in clear and I have actually got more channels than before. It depends on how many over the air channels you have in your area but you should pull all of them in.

No. There is an equivalent Winegard antenna for dish. It's the Winegard SK-1000.

I'm not sure. It would make sense to get the HD antenna & receiver. If you ask Dish HD will be free.

Yes, as long you're using an activated receiver on your account it will work. Just mount and install, then align the dish and if its properly aligned it will see your channels.

I'm not sure what an over the air antenna is I assume it is one of those antenna's that you put on your house to pick p the old style TV waves. If that antena has the flat wite with the two screws it does not have the two screws. But radio shack sells a converter from the old style flat antenna wire to coax. so if an RG 59 or RG 6 coax cable can run from that antenna to the TV then yes it has an input for that. It would use the same input as the one for a cable box assuming the antenna uses a coax of course. And if I remember the input menu on the remote has a selection for antenna. Hope this helps.

No, this equipment will only work with an authorized Dish account and activation. If you simply want to watch OTA programming, you only need an antenna, like the leaf or one of the terk products. If you want to record OTA programming, a TiVo will do that, or you can use a media center computer with pvr functionality.

This antenna connects with a 75 ohm coax cable. The real problem is that over the air signals are digital and requires your TV set to have a digital tuner; otherwise you would need a converter for this antenna to the best of my knowlage.

What you would want to do is look at the actual dish. If there are 3 LNB's on the dish then you will be golden. All you will have to do if run your coax to the open LNB port. You will have your own service plan with your dish and will have access to whatever you are subscribed to.

Yes you can take your home dish receiver to the camper and hook it to this dish antenna and after aiming it at the satellites you can get all your dish programming on your trailer tv while on vacation if you are in the same area you still get your local channels. If out of the area you won't get locals.

Reading the instructions would answer this question, but I'll answer it anyways. This device is used to connect an OTA (over the air) antenna to your Dish Hopper. The coax is an input that is connected from the OTA antenna into the USB OTA Tuner. The usb connection then connects the OTA Tuner to the Dish Hopper. After you've made this connection you can follow the included instructions to setup the OTA Tuner to work with the Hopper. For what it's worth, this product is cheaper if ordered directly from Dish Network. Last I looked it was only $30 directly from Dish.

Will not work with Dish Network or Direct TV. It is for Free to Air (FTA) TV only.

Your system is set up through your box and programming. What local channels you get will be part of that programming and this tripod will have no bearing on what you can see. If you currently have a P.R. local channel you will get it no matter where you set your system up as long as your dish can "see" the satellites you are connected to.

As long as you know the elevation and azimuth of the satellite and have a comppass, the Magic system will help you point the dish at the satellite close enough to get a signal. Once there, you may need to move the dish side-to-side and/or up or down a few degrees to fine tune your reception. My cable box has a built-in feature that helps me do this. If you are a DirectTV customer, go to http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/customer/dishPointer.jsp, type in the zip code of your location and it will tell you the elevation and azimuth to use. Other providers probably provide similar sites.

Hi if the antenna is plugged into a DTV converter and then the analog convert is plugged into a analog TV, yes that should be fine. Now mine is plugged into a Tivo Premier, it was one of the few DVR that did OTA. Works really well.

Your Satellite Dish should be DISH Network and it should be an HD Satellite Dish. If these requirements are met along with a DISH network subscription then you should be able to use the 612 Dual Tuner with this system. If you have the Over the Air(OTA) module installed in your receiver then you should also be able to hook up an aerial antenna to your receiver as well to receive your local OTA channels. I hope this helps. Good luck.
