Ok i just realised that i'm moving into my new house in 6 days and i still have nothing arranged in terms of TV signal. I want to get HD satellite, probably Dish but i'm not sure if i can afford to buy all the hardware right now. That means i would have to pay for cable installation and use it for a few months before getting sat - i don't really want to do that. So i need some info about satellite so i can decide tomorrow i should schedule an appointment with my cable provider or not. So i have several questions
1. I heard i need a special dish for HDTV. Does that mean i need a second dish, in addition to a regular one, or just a higher quality dish?
2. How much does the HD dish cost?
3. If i need a second dish for HD, shouldn't i be able to just buy a regular dish and an HD-ready DSS box and use the system for SDTV for now? I could buy the HD dish and the HD decoder when i have more money.
4. What are some of the popular HD antennas and HD-ready DSS boxes. Note that i don't need a PVR - my HTPC will handle that.
Ok that about covers it. Thank you!
