Getting HD

[thomasrp]

I am getting the 811 installed next week (I think it will be an 811 ). I currently have the reqular receiver DP301. The Dish network guy will take away the 301 and replace it with an 811.

My question is since I have a sony HDTV with an HDMI input, will the Dish network guy provide me with a HDMI cable or do I have to buy one myself. If he does not use the HDMI, I am guessing he will use the regular RCA.

Will there be any need to rewire the coax cable for HD (this is a new house and came prewired with coax cable which the 301 is currently using)?

Thanks in advance,
-tom

Hi Tom, welcome to sat guys!

The only HD cable that Dish provides is a component cable.

The satellite hook up that you have for the 301 will be fine.

If you want to use your tv's HDMI, you'll need to get a DVI to HDMI cable, but in actuality the Component cable will do just fine.
