I have been reading a lot about Satellite tv and still trying to decide whether to switch to it... One big question that I can't seem to find a definitive answer for is if you live in an area where D* says you get local stations (San Francisco Bay Area) what does that mean antenna wise??? Do those local stations come down on the satellite beam(s), meaning are they first transmitted from a ground station to the satellites and then received by the triple LNB antenna on your house??? And is it for local stations, HD or what that you need (or want) the triple LNB antenna in the first place??? Just trying to get beyond some confusion here... Any help would be appreciated... diitto....
