Directv is offering an upgrade special for current subscribers that want to get HDTV. It includes the HD receiver, the 3 LNB dish, and standard installation. All this for $399 plus shipping and tax.
The HD receiver that you get is not guaranteed, but I got the Samsung SIR-TS160. If you look up the price of this receiver, it sells for around $550 by itself. One year commitment is required.
To find the deal go to Directv.com and click on HDTV on the right. The deal add should show up. This receiver also receives over the air( OTA) HD channels. I bought a Terk TV-44 and hooked it up to the dish before they installed it and now get all my local OTA HD channels. They didn't charge me extra for putting the antenna on the dish.
