Looking for the right Dish/LNB combo to get HD with my older Direct TV H20 receiver (HD receiver). Receiver has the BBC. Thanks for any help. Edit; I see this big one for up to 4 receivers.ht...

As a point of clarification, the thing you have been calling a dish is not a dish. The things you eat food from are dishes. The things that receive broadcast signals are antennas. The OTA "antenna" on your roof and the satellite "antenna" in a dome, on the ground or attached to a Trav'ler are used to receive signal broadcasts.
So......to answer your question, you need an antenna and an LNB. However, if you are using an HD receiver but connecting itmto an older SD TV you just need a simple single LNB that will let you point to and receive the signal broadcast from the 101 satellite. These cost about $15 (or less) and can be found locally quite often. Where you might have a problem is connecting your HD receiver to an older TV. Does the H20 have a coax output option? If not, your old TV will not have an HDMI input but it might have a 3 wire Red/White/Yellow RCA connection option.
