If you want High deff from dtv to work at all with your receiver for direct tv you must get an hd dish .Only three HD channels (need more more more channels)

Unless you are going to just use it for the random off air broadcast stuff. Then you should pick up a good uhf antenna .(digital channels are uhf for off air)
and sometimes you need a rotator to fine tune different channels .
I have used the turk (works pretty well) Sucks for vhf
Winegaurd (works pretty well not as well as turk for digital) Works well for vhf though 8600 series

Larry you must admit how tacky 2 dishes look , If the hd dish is set up properly, I defy anyone to get anything but the same signal peak with two dishes . (ok so the hd dish is costly but who said this was a cheap endeavor)

For me there is just not enough programming to warrant HD , (maybe if they do 24/7 on networks I will)
