Thanks for the help guys. I ended up having them come out to do the dish, swap the 2 HD receivers I already had and install a HDDVR. Good news/bad news. The installer was real cool and actually did get up on the steep roof to install the dish. Pretty good readings as well. BUT, he...

OK. How do I go about setting that up? I know an independant installer that did a job for a friend. How do I get D* to set it up with him?

Hi. I have been lurking for sometime trying to decide if the HD OTA is worth it or not. I have DTV, with HD, but no local HD available yet. So, it is pretty much worthless, except for ESPN. My main goal is to watch my beloved Lions(Laughter outloud noted). So, I really only need the Fox...
