I get all the networks in high def in my area with Dish over the air. They are not yet available on satellite here but are in a nearby city. I use Dish for ota because the Voom receiver would not pull all of them in.
Sure hate to Voom go away though. The quality is noticeably better than Dish and I have had no problems at all with Voom except trying to get it installed at the beginning.
Lets keep our fingers crossed that somehow they will stay around or come back.

> ------------------------If your locals broadcast in HD, AND they are using a strong signal, AND
your view to the broadcast towers isn't blocked, THEN you can use an
OTA antenna to pick them up with Dish. Same with Direct for now.
CBS-HD is available on the Dish satellite (actually it's a wing
satellite) if you qualify. Direct offers the major networks in HD on
their satellite if you qualify.
