Sorry, but you need the eliptical dish that can pull in two bird at the same time.
Right now you're receiving signal from 101*. You also need 110* for HDTV. Payoff is about 2 channels at the moment.

This is true. HBO on ch 509 occasionally has a true HD movie but most of the time they are converted. CH 199 is PPV and has a demo loop running most of the time with 2 or 3 different movies per month that run at night. Also quantum said the HD is on the 110 bird. Actually its on the 119.
