He switched from Direct to DISHnetwork
DirecTV uses one bird (101 w) which is in one satellite band Forget if it's Ka or Ku.
DirecHDTV uses that bird for SD, plus two more HD birds (99/103) which are in the OTHER of those two bands.
The Dome is a radio antenna. Radio antennas do not care if the signal is analog, Digital, Text, Computer programs, Faximily, We-Fax, Hellscriber,, SSB, DSB w or w/o carrier, CW (morse code) or something else.. Like Television. They only care about the wavelength (Frequency band) thus no dome can get DirecHDTV
Dish however uses only the one band,, Same one they have always used, Same one DirecTV (no HD) uses.. So by switching to DISH, his dome (if it's new enough and can be reset) gets both SD and HD.
There is a downside.... On DirecTV, you can have one,two,three, more receivers on one dome.. on Dish,, Since a Dome can only see sats ONE AT A TIME, you can only have one receiver.. or you can use multiple domes.
