Have a few questions about HD DTV receiver and TV. Please answer any questions you may know the answers to:

1- Do they offer dual LNB dishes? If so, can I connect an old receiver to the new dish?

2- Will the HD receiver receive channel 199 and HD HBO with an H test card without me having to order anything?

3- Will I receive Network shows offerd in HDTV on my local 900's even if my local affiliates do not broadcast in HD?

4- Will the receiver work on a normal analog TV?
