I have a traveler dish for dish network and have been on the edge or beyond of the spotbeam for local Chanel reception and have received the std def local but unable to get the same Chanel in HD I think the local beam is somewhat smaller for HD local . This is on Dish tv not Direct so I'm not sure it applies but fyi
Thats true.. Most (not all) of the HD services also have SD copies, and usually showing up on the same channel on the receiver. I can select HD, SD, or both. I leave SD off the menu unless needed, and sofar that's only when plugged into the 18"portable
