Question:
So we live in the Seattle area, and we get Dish Network. We bought the local channel HD package, and we got ABC, NBC, and CBS, but they don't offer our local Fox station, KCPQ, in HD. There are some channels we get with Dish Network we can't get anywhere else, so we're not switching to Comcast or Directv. We're going to try an indoor antenna, but we're not sure if it can pick up Fox, and we don't want to get an outdoor one since that takes too much work. Since most Seahawks games, the World Series, BCS, the Super Bowl, etc are going to be on Fox, we really want it in HD. Any other way to get it?
Does you TV has a built in ATSC or HDTV tuner? If so, you can use an indoor antenna to get Fox in HD. Just switch your tv input to ATSC whenever you want watch your local HD channel using an indoor antenna.
Dish Network HD receivers, or any of their receivers for that matter, can accomodate over the air antenna connections. You can connect your indoor antenna from there. You can call Dish Network for further instructions, they can accomodate you 24/7-- 1-800-333-3474. I would recommend, though, that you instead get an outdoor antenna for better reception. You should have asked the installer to connect it for you when they came to install your HD capable dish/receiver, because they could have done it for you for free. Dish Network offers 30-day installation warranty, wherein if you have issue(s) or any modification(s) required on your installation, the installers will do the service for free.
