Yes. The exciting new Model 6022 (DISH HD) has the AC-3 and HDTV decoders built in. The model 6022 will work with all ATSC-compatible HDTV television sets. A customer must have both a High Definition compatible television and an 8VSB modulator ($139.95, now available) to support the viewing capability of locals being broadcast in HD. The 6022 satellite receiver and 8VSB modulator will support all eighteen ATSC formats, including both 720p and 1080I HDTV formats. In general, EchoStar will provide HD content in whatever format it receives from the content providers. Please note: HDTV content is on ECHO III (61.5) and duplicated on ECHO I (148) which requires a second dish antenna.
