And set up a new dish for everyone with the HD package.

David_Levin said:They don't have a lot of transponders at 61.5. But, there's probably room for a few.
bdemz said:I still beleive that HD LIL is a waste. The people who cannot receive them OTA should already qualify for Distant Nets. So all E* needs to do is provide an HD feed from distant nets ala D*.
