    Does a BUD system offer HD

    I have a 8.5 ft. Dish with an old school receiver just sitting around and I was woundering what it would need to make it HD ready? I have HD through Dish but would love to just run the Bud system if I can get HD programing. I get my Locals in HD with an OTA antenna but what about HBO, TNT...

    Just got A BUD system!!!!?

    LNBs How do you tell which LNBs I have? If I do need new ones I found the set for $419.95, is that bad? Ultra low temp, highly stable .5dB/15deg. feedhorne/LNB Pak 15deg C-Band/.5dB Ku-Band. I'd rather get the best equipment now instead of paying for it later.

    What is C-Band???

    I called up a retailer for BUD and she really tried selling me against it and tried pushing Directtv instead and when I asked about the HD receivers she said that they were discontinued and would have no replacement! I am very interested in BUD now and I will probably get it for the quality of...

    What is C-Band???

    If only I can hide the initial shock of $2000 from my wife!! I was able to buy a 811 and subscribe to dish and have it installed without my wife ever knowing until she had seen the remote. I don't think she'll miss a 10' dish sitting on or near the house, not to mention a $2000 withdraw from...
