Can you receive hdtv signals on dig. cable?


Was wondering if you still need the externally mounted dish to get hdtv on digital cable. I have the round non-hdtv Dish network dish. Would seem simple to switch over to dig. cable and get a set top receiver to get hdtv signals. Don't want to buy another oval dish if i don't have to. Any recommendations?

Yes; but you would have to buy a second round dish and point it at the HD "bird". The oval dishes are only 149 at C City and less on line, The OTA antenna-- along with a STB is the way to go. ( If you live in a large enough city) In LA here, all stations are in HD. Once you have a roof top antenna and the receiver(stb) the OTA programing is free. Cable will be doing HD soon, I've heard.
