anyone out there with Dish Network HD?

[black98V6]

hey I was wondering if there is anyone out there who has the dish network HD package?

I currently have the regular dish with DVR, the physical dish outside has the two receiver thingies which allows it to receive from 2 different sattelites.

My question for anyone who has gone from the regular dish to dish with HD service is do they have to change the dish out? I am concerned about advertising to everyone that I have a new HD Tv in my place as my neighborhood is on the downhill slide.

This is a real concern for me and I was hoping someone here could shed some light on whether I have to get a new dish outside??

I don't think they would need to change the dish, I think it's just a program change

speaking to someone in their customer service department makes my bloodpressure rise significantly, there is a reason it's so much cheaper than cable here :D


thanks for the info, reason I was asking is because i have seen Direct TV hd dish that had 3 of the receiver things for 3 different sattelite

they may have to add an "eye" on the dish but you wouldn't really notice

Dish does not change, a new distribution box is put in place. Buddy has it. The new box is in the garage ceiling and HUGE with lots of coax connections.

Our dish does not say anything about being HD. It is just a different box inside.
