No, D* has a section of channels that are HD Only.
Not sure about the SD for the Sports packages ... If I were to take a guess I would say Yes, but it's been so long since I intentionally looked at a SD channel when HD is available that I really am not sure.
 
looks like only a handfull of them are hd only and nothing really game changing.. got a buddy in the north who is right at the tip of the footprint for 99 and 103 so I was curious

Not every channel is available in SD; most Cinemax channels are HD only, some Starz as well, same with Showtime, Encore, and HBO. Most are available in HD, however.

As far as national goes, as you said, only a handful of them are HD only. Depending on where he lives, his locals may required MPEG4 equipment, however.

Might want to check out Dish Network's 129W or 61.5W bird coverage, he might could get HD that way. Is he in Canada? I think those satellites have more of an over the border coverage than the Ka DTV birds.
 
my buddy is moving to la loche Saskatchewan Canada , looking at the footprint for 101 on sat beams , anyone know if he could get decent signal there if he gets a bigger dish ? What kind of LNB would he need and would it work with an H24 ?

That's on the edge of reception for a standard dish. The Alaska/Hawaii dish might work there, but only for sd channels.
 
yip only looking for SD at this point just single reception of 101
