This is really frustrating and it seems like it should be pretty simple.
Depending on which in motion system you have, it can get complicated. I have a Tracstar SV360 and have two DirecTV receivers. Since one of the latest firmware updates in the receivers, you can only get programming on the 101 satellite and can NOT get any HD programming period. DirecTV uses Ku and Ka bands and I don't know of any in motion solution to the HD issues. I bought professional model receivers and do own them, but any of the discounted pricing will only get you a leased receiver. I went the pro route for the better cooling in my equipment rack.

If you have the Tracstar dish, you can get Dish network receivers and you can get HD with them. All depends on what you have and what you want.
