HDTV conversion question for DirecTV customers.

If you have a regular receiver, not a DVR, then it will have a single coax antenna feed.

The HD receiver should come with a dongle to interface with the coax antenna feed. The dongle is used to be able to switch the dish to the HD satellites.

If you get a DVR, then you will need two coax feeds from your dish. That will allow you to record one program while watching a second one.

Enjoy!
