    Other Options Hi, I'm new to the forum as well, but I did research for awhile on this site to help make a decission. I found that Dishnetwork is running a promotion now where they will LOAN you (at no cost to you) an 811 rcvr which will rcv and display HD content. I just had it set up, and I...
