Hi Folks,
First post to the Home Theater Forum, but have been reading and absorbing for a little while. Wife and I just purchased a Mitsubishi WT-46809 as main TV and are pretty happy with it. Only problem is that Dish broadcasts on our larger screen look pretty fairly grainy, probably due to just having more screen space than before (27"). Lots of 'pizelation' that we didn't notice so much before, some channels are better than others though.
Now, the questions to anyone who has a DISH HDTV receiver (6000 model?):
* Is it worth it?
* How many stations does DISH broadcast in HDTV and how much better is the picture?
* Would we need a second dish on roof, or is it just the receiver that is changed?
* Would we get the local channels that DISH provides in HDTV, or need another tuner?
* Does it cost any more per month for the HDTV feed?
FYI - We live in the Denver area, if that affects anything.
Many Thanks to any who can advise,
Joe
