    Super Bowl, Dishnetwork, Fox

    Just found out, if you have Dishnetwork and plan on watching the Super Bowl in HD forget it. Dishnetwork is the only Cable or Sat. Provider that did not sign a contract with Fox for the HD broadcast of the Super Bowl. You can get it if you have some kind of Antenna. I think when I get my HD TV I am going to either switch providers or get an Antenna for free over the air signal for the locals

          If you have HD dish package and HD local cannels are available, your receiver will pick up the signal via the airwaves and run it thrugh your tuner. It looks like just another channel but it will be HD. You will need an antenna. If you get your network HD feed from dish, you could be in trouble.

              I get all my locals in HD through an antenna, so I am all set--although I am not really going to watch too much of the SB.

              FWIW, I have found that over the air HD is most likely better than an HD signal through satellite or cable since OTA is not compressed like it is for satellite or cable.
