I'm using a Vip211k with a built-in OTA tuner. After attaching the adapter and rebooting the receiver, you'll need to do a channel scan. After that, add the channels it finds to your "favorites" list. The channels will appear in your guide along with whatever information is available for programming. There's a lot more channels available OTA than Dish can carry. The only trouble I have is getting a good reliable signal with no drop-outs.
Problem is the OTA shows no info in the guild. I have never seen whats on in the OTA and that's exactly why I use the Dish mobile with the local channel option. Try adding the locals to your subscription, $10 a month.
