Unfortunately, you'll have to put a different dish on your house to get it:

DISH Network to Add HDNet, HDNet Movies (http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/030501/15710_1.html)

This dish will receive signals from DISH's satellite at 110 degrees, 119 degrees, and their new satellite at 121 degrees. The new satellite, Echostar 9, is scheduled for a July launch.

As for the dish itself, it's a new dish designed to replace the 20-inch DISH 500 dish that most DISH users have:

Sweet. They should have all of the bugs worked out by the time I can afford an HDTV in a couple of years.

One piece left to go after this and that is a HD supported PVR and we will be set for years to come!

Sweetness!
