Free upgrade to the new 5lnb dish, which you don’t need since HDNet is an Mpeg2 channel(along with HBOHD, ShowtimeHD, EspnHD, Espn2HD, HDNet, HDNet Movies, Universial HD, Discovery HD), but since you’re getting the satellite dish upgrade for free mine as well get the new dish that lets one receive all of DirecTv’s 60-80 HD channels(depending on whose numbers you trust). Plus a free H20 HD receiver which you will get for free since you’ve obviously been a DirecTv customer since pretty close to the beginning if you can’t receive HDnet with your current dish. Finally comes the huge price of $10 for 60-80 HD channels including HDnet(no addional fee for HDNet since Mark Cuban sued Directv and the court ordered Directv to hold off on charging 4.99 for HDNet, HdNet Movies, Universial , MHD, Smithsonian HD, and a couple other I can’t remember.
Ans another thing “Mark Cuban” if that’s your real name, anyone using a dish is getting digital signals. But if one is using cable which still broadcasts some channels in analog through coaxial that is also fine. The only people affected by the digital over-the-air transfer are people with bunny ears who only receive the networks plus UPN(or whatever the hell it’s called now) in analog.
