you can get an hd receiver without any problem; but i'd recommend getting an hd dvr. they probably will try to charge $50 to send you one; but you might be able to get out of it by talking to the customer loyalty department (remember, you ARE spending additional money for the hd...this helps your cause).

it does put you at a slight disadvantage when you are mid-contract...but persistence (& staying calm on the phone) generally pay off in these situations. you will be happy with the hd, either way.

unless you actually want a channel on the platinum tier, i wouldn't recommend it. the channels they give you for the extra $10/month are not worth it, imo. i've been happy with the gold hd (they are offering the platinum for free for 3 months, to try it out)...
