Default PBS on dish, why not HD?

I can get PBS in HD over the air, but I can't get it on Dish. Which means I can't DVR in HD.

Why is this? I know it's not isolated to just Dallas.

That's a pity because PBS has some great shows in HD. Like the Nature series.

Perhaps that was in the agreement to do this documentary. In Hi-Def TV, the horns on the Mormons are more prominent.

Does your digital OTA tuner have any sort of digital video output? ... and can your DVR accept any digital video input other than from Dish?

I don't have a DVR, but I use the digital audio out from my TV (built-in tuner) to get digital sound to my surround stereo system. For that there is a fiber-optic cable. For video-out I think the TV offers component-video or HDMI. Your mileage may vary.
