Hi, A Dish 500 only receives programming from 2 Sateliites 119 & 110 which would not be enough to get HD programming. Depending on your location you will need to add another obital which will provide your HD Signal. If you were set up with a HD receiver then you should have been set-up with the correct obitals. With your Dish Network remote, press "Menu, 6-1-3" In the system Info screen yhere should be on line "G" satellites. If you have 3 listed and they are all green underneath you are good, if not you will need to contact DISH Network to get set-up properly. Please feel free to contact me directly. Thank you!
