Well I read here in this thread

that Dish charges a HD Enabling Fee of $6. My question here is this monthly or one time? I want my locals with a ota antenna in HD will I have to pay for that fee in addition to the $6 extra a month for this reciever? If its one time not too bad but I'll be damned if I pay that monthly. If I don't pay it can I still use my reciever as a OTA tuner? The only reason I want to pay to hook this up right now is for my OTA. I wouldn't mind showtime in HD but I don't want to pay $20 a month extra for the rest of the HD channels quite yet.
