So it sounds like we have to learn how to aim our dish, huh? How do we know if the TV has an ATSC digital tuner? Will it say so in the instruction book for the TV? We have a Vizio...2 years old, I think.
Yes, if you want to receive satellite TV you will either need to learn to point an antenna or you need to purchase an antenna that can point itself.
As the poster has already corrected, the digital TV does not apply to satellite TV. You just need an HD receiver and HD subscription and the proper antenna capable of receiving the HD signal.
When not watching satellite, you crank up your Batwing antenna and watch OTA TV programming with the TV's built-in digital tuner.
