    Here is the new DirecTV MPEG-4 dish that will also provide the local HD channels. It requires 5 coax vs the 3 coax used on the current 18" oval dish. You'll also need/ get a new HD receiver as the current ones only decode MPEG-2.

    Roll out is slated for 11/7 but it'll prob get pushed back......again.

    Do you have to pay extra for HD per month with that?
