I wanted to know does anyone run a FTA satellite with there Projector. If so are you running a Standard Definition or High Definition Receiver and how is the quality?

I am looking for more info on this topic too. I am looking to replace my cable subscription with something that does not have a monthly fee so I am starting to research Free-to-Air (FTA) satellite solutions. I know that I could connect one the FTA receivers to my projector with composite outputs, but I am trying for find:

1) what are the available receivers with either HDMI or component video outputs
2) what can I expect in the way of free HD or DTV channels, I'm more interested in the HD options tha the DTV channels but I can make sacrifices if I need to.

I found this helpful thread by Ken H. (a real wealth of information, he is):

It lists the receivers so I will start researching them and hopefully have time to come back and post my thoughts. Let me know if you get any more info outlawz. Others please chime in too.

Thanks.
