The Direct TV HD dish placed on the outside of the house has four RG6 cables running to a connection block. You can then connect from one - four receivers to the dish at the connection block. Local channels (mine)are redundant (HD and Standard) My local channel HD broadcasts are in the 4.3 aspect ratio. This is a bummer. National programs are 16.9 aspect ratio. Watching local HD programs in 4.3 aspect ratio places the picture in the middle of the screen with black bars on each side. In other words if you have a 50" LCD instead of watching a program full screen you get to watch a miniture version in the middle of the screen. I think the FCC needs to step in and state HD is 16.9, not digitial signals broadcast in 4.3 aspect ratio.
