    Dish Expands High Definition Package

    not a dumb question at all-the answer is easy tho-if you can't get your locals on a dish 500, then it's likely they are on 61.5, obviously... seeing you are in the dallas area, all your locals save one niche UHF channel(i forget which one)are on 110....
