If i get direct tv within 2002 will it the dish be contained by hd?
Answers:
Probably not, but it's easy to notify. Just look for three LNB's (the white things pointing at the dish) and you're good to dance.

freshly call them theyll endow with you a new dish, and i focus you need to wage extra for hd service and the one time reciever cost Weeder, this is the first time I have to disagree near you =) what you described could either be a 3LNB or a 5LNB dish (the difference self that the 5LNB is the HD).
First, are you asking if it's HD for the Feb 2009 switch? If so, you don't have to verbs about High Definition (HD), as it is just one format of DIGITAL programming, the other being Standard Definition (SD), which you would already hold. DirecTV is already broadcasting in digital and their customers will not see a metamorphosis come February.
If you want HD, however, you can check a few things. Like I said, Weeder was close next to the HD dish thing. If you look at your dish, you'll awareness three door knob-like things called LNBs. Two of them on a 5LNB dish do double duty and verbs two sets of information (thus making it 5 instead of 3). The easiest way you can relay is to look at how they're arranged.
On a 5LNB dish you will see two of the knobs underneath a cover and the third sticking bad to the side. Your dish might also say SLIMLINE surrounded by the middle (though it could be an older HD dish if it doesn't). If it doesn't own the cover, you will need to procure it upgraded, which is relatively easy and painless. You lately need to hail as 1 800 531 5000 and have them establish a new dish for you.
