For those of you using carry out DirecTV domes , check with King. Many of their domes will work with DirecTV HD after change without mods.
You and others are missing the point. We who have been and are still using SD equipment are not concerned about not having access to DTV in the future. The concern is having to pay $XXX for a new antenna or dome in order to continue that service. DTV will be paying for the receiver upgrades.
As for the poster who asked "how can anyone love SD?", for us it's not a "love" affair. We have gotten by with a lower quality picture for a smaller investment while enjoying the variety of programming AND DVR capability (YES, 2-tuner DVRs for SD).
By the way, I have yet to find an acceptable streaming replacement for the DVR when it comes to recording sports programming. There are "cloud DVR" services, but they come at a price. So any discussion of streaming cost vs satellite/cable needs to include those charges.
