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.
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?
