DirecTV: This satellite company is offering HBO-HD, HDNet and high definition
Pay Per View.
You can get HD content from DirecTV if you have a HDTV set with a built-in DirecTV receiver,
or if you have a High Definition TV that is connected to a DirecTV set-top box.
You will also need an 18" x 24" oval DirecTV

Dish Network: Is providing HBO, Showtime and PPV in high definition right now.
You may or
may not qualify for their high definition CBS feed, depending on where you live and if you
meet their requirements.
You can get these channels if you get a second satellite dish pointed at the 61.5 or 148 satellite location and
if you have a IRD HD Receiver Model 6000 dish.
This company is sometimes referred to as EchoStar because that is the parent company
of the Dish Network.

ExpressVu: This is a Canadian satellite company with quite a few
HDTV channels currently running. They
currently offer both east and west coast feeds of CBS and ABC, with PBS occasionally.
If you live in the United States you will need to buy this service from an address broker such
as Freeway Support because it is illegal
in Canada to knowingly sell DBS services to residents of the US.
However, from what we understand, it is not illegal to receive Canadian DBS signals if you reside in the US.

ABC, NBC, TMN/MC (movie channels), special sporting events and so on. This is a Canadian
owned satellite company as well.
