Short answer: He can not get direcHDTV with that antenna.
Since it is an In-Motion antenna that means it is a DOME type, not a disk
NO DOME can get DirecHDTV, only dish type antennas do HD.
Reason: unlike Dish Network, Dirc Broadcasts HD on a different frequency band, You need a DIFFERENT antenna for HD and SD, nobody makes an HD dome at this time.
