My parents have had dish since 1994 but still have the old srandast, non HD channels. In fact, their first HD TV they bought in 2008 just died this morning. Is there any way we can get HD stations at no additional cost? They're paying $110 a month...

Why? Shouldn't that be a contact of last resort? Any CSR or retailer can arrange for an upgrade and there's no additional charge for HD channels anyway.
Oh, I almost forgot to say you should always try your local retailer first, if you have a good one.
JSheridan is correct and its been several years since they charged extra for HD. The only possible charge would be a 1 time fee to upgrade equipment.
Its built into the cost of the receivers...HD receivers cost more than SD

Is this even effectively true anymore? I cannot imagine the component costs of a STB that can do HD vs. one that can only do SD would be more than a few cents higher these days, and could possibly be cheaper as semiconductor and other component vendors probably don't make enough SD-only products to get good economies of scale anymore. I'm not even sure if UHD STBs would be materially more expensive than HD these days.
Or maybe infinitely less as it seems the SD receivers are priceless. ;-)Well, then the HD receivers cost infinitely more than SD ones.
Black holes are where God divided by zero.
There are no SD receivers being installed anymore So your point isn’t really valid
Im thinking from a easter arc perspective...I just assumed western arc stopped too

They stopped selling sd receivers to people with sd tvs...so you are forced to get a hd receiver..
Sd was 5 bucks a month....hd was 7
