I think I remember seeing the Hopper reviewed in one of the A/V Mags and it didn't seem to have a RG6 Coax connection on the back for the OTA connection like my 622 DVR has. So if OTA antenna capability is added then how would it connect? And would the OTA connection take over one of the 3 internal tuners like it does on the 622 DVR?

Awesome, thanks for posting this. I've been waiting for OTA to make the "Hop" and would love to replace my 622s but cannot give up OTA (even with PTAT). Getting excited again!
I had OTA with Directv And it took the OTA channels and put them into the guide and they were no different then the Directv channels. You could click on them and record them just as you would any channel that was on the Sat. Is this how Dish works?
The second page (which is more interesting) looks fine.
They could have rotated the first page and left the second page narrow but that would require special handling when printing.
But at the end of the day, complaining about the PDF is like complaining that one's bonus check is printed in an unpleasant font. Cash the check, be happy. We finally have public proof that OTA really is coming for the Hopper.
The PDF pages are oriented like that so there is no special formatting required when printing on your printer. You only need to rotate it to view it if you don't want to print it. Any PDF reader will do this...
Anywhoo... This is a good thing for me since DISH doesn't carry my locals in HD yet. I don't need PTA, so it's no big loss for me either way. I will be glad to get my locals to all TV's, not just to the main TV and have to switch inputs to get to them
We know more than that. We know there is a firmware version that supports the OTA adapter, because the manual has screen shots.
