HDTV + 811 + Anything else?

[Silver3783]

I got an HDTV, and I'm upgrading to the 811 reciever. Is there any other satellite equipment needed (such as some new LNB?). I noticed some LNB's have HDTV logo's and some don't.

Assuming you sub to the HD Package from dish, all you need is a dish pointed at 110/119. If you qualify for the CBS-HD feed, you'll need a dish pointing at 61.5 or 148 also. The 811 only needs one RG6 cable.

As far as non-satellite equipment, if you want over-the-air (OTA) HD, you'll need a UHF/VHF antenna for the digital signal. How big of an antenna depends on your location. The antenna connects to the rear of the 811.
