I could start lots of threads with "I know a secret but I can't tell you" and nobody would ever know if I actually have a secret or proof or not... what would be the point in that?
I haven't seen anyone posting bugs about the OTA adapter and PTAT since it hasn't been released yet.
There's also nothing in any bugs I have seen posted that lead me to believe any of the things said about OTA and PTAT having "conflicts" is even remotely true.
And since you said you don't have one... and it isn't released yet... on what grounds are you going to assert you know it isn't coming out and conflicts with PTAT because the programmers don't know how to do it?
I never declared anything as fact... I've expressed doubt at the absolute fact some seem to be saying about things that haven't come out yet.
I'm not siding with fan-boys, just connecting dots and bringing my own opinion(s) ...
BTW, if you would be a participant of Linux development forums, you would find some names from estar and other side company who has been there but not anymore.
Some of them well known guys and some of them has a word about that time. I wouldn't say it was a pleasant word ...
Also, to clarify some other inquisitions - in professional circle some process has a name: reverse engineering; I don't need someone's guess to say many companies doing such work very intensively.
I think that means it hasn't been released yet... so people shouldn't go around asserting what it can and cannot do when you don't know what you are talking about.

Star Trek is on Tonight on METV. DIsh does not carry it on the Sat so we must have the OTA USB over the air tuner to get the local channels.
Also there is My Network TV, local Weather channels, PBS Create, PBS Kids, PBS in HD, CW in HD ect.
I wonder how many hopper customers dont know they are missing a lot of local channels. I mention this so when they come to this site they can be educated and can make an informed choice on if they care about OTA. Also in case Dish reads these posts they will know some people still want the OTA tuner and they should put more man hours on it and get it done.
My new hope is they release the USB tuner by Thanks Giving.
Friendly moderator direction... Please watch the name-calling. Regardless of your opinion or position in any discussion, name-calling is not allowed. Please discuss the topic without attacking each other.
I too am waiting for info, but I hope they take something away from how DirecTV implemented OTA on the HR-34. If Dish doesn't stream OTA to the Joey's then it's worthless to me. I don't really care about PTAT as much as I do about available tuners and ability to record multiple locations. I wish Dish would hurry with this because I do prefer their line up to DirecTV now that AMC is back. I'm basically waiting out the Dish OTA solution.
I hope we are simply waiting on something simple like FCC approval or some kind of cert like that. You know those funny cert numbers we see on electronics that they don't interfer with othe radio devices. This is a new device and in some cases the main box is connected to the phone line or Internet.
Regrettably, your opinions seem to look a lot like statements of fact.
I understand that you have trouble putting words together in coherent English sentences, but you need to read what you write and make sure it represents what you intended to express and with the appropriate level of authority.
All I can say is that the USB tuner can't come soon enough. Watching the Packer game through the Dish CBS local this afternoon was painful. My wife even said, "I thought the games are supposed to be in HD..."
A wife mentioning ANYTHING audio or video related is all the proof I need to support my opinion of how poor the quality was.

It may not have been Dish's fault. I've seen some pretty bad quality from CBS this season on some NFL games. I knew it wasn't Dish's compression the moment they showed a highlight from a previous game (footage from a Fox-covered game) which looked fantastic. Then back to live, which looked horrible.
Still, I agree that the OTA tuner is a long-awaited accessory. It sure doesn't feel like "summer 2012" out there!
Hopefully you can buy TWO of them for $30 each and record Two channels at once instead of "an additional channel"
