Local HD Channels

[hockey04]

Anyone help me with this issue? I used to have cable and the local channels were in HD, now that I have moved and switched to Dish they are no longer offered in HD? Would an OTA antenna fix this problem or is there a way to get them through my dish?

Where are you located and which receiver do you have?

 

[hockey04]

Located in South Dakota, not sure which receiver I have. It's an HD non-DVR receiver, guessing it's the 722.

You need to be a little more specific, South Dakota is a large State. Where in South Dakota are you, a city would help. A 722 is a DVR. Tell us specifically which receiver you have....

The 722 is a dvr receiver, you may want to check again. Also, which dma do you get your locals from?

Thanks for the help guys, not much into the technical side of things. My zip code is 57783 which is Spearfish, SD. All local channels are broadcast from either Rapid City about 45 miles away (Fox, NBC and ABC), or Sioux Falls which is about 600 miles away (only CBS and PBS).

My receiver is the VIP222k. Thanks again for the help.

It looks like you're in the Rapid City TV market. Dish Network only carries SD local channels in your area.

Hook an antenna up to get what HD locals you can OTA. You will need the add on OTA module for 222k
