    Now that I have an HD-ready TV, what do I need to get HDTV

    Steve, Make sure you get the multi switch that is for the HDTV. It must have a total of 4 ins. Two from the 119 satellite and two from the 101 satellite. I am using two dishes and it works well you can fine tune each satellite better this way.
