***if this is the wrong forum, please accept my apologies***
I have Dish Network (Dish Receiver 811, SuperDish 500) satellite television but it is not carrying my local network affiliates (PBS, CBS, NBC, FOX, ABC) in HDTV [South Bend IN local market]. Dish Customer Support confirms these channels are carried only in SD.
The Dish receiver has an input for connecting an OTA antenna and using it as a tuner (my HDTV does not have its own HD tuner).
Can you recommend a roof-mounted antenna (under $100) that can be used to pickup HD signals?
There is a cluster of stations 40 miles SSE and another 65 miles due west.
thanks,
Sathyan
P.S. Can I receive SDTV signal on an HDTV antenna for the extra TVs that don't have satellite receivers.
