Hdtv direct tv question

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

Here is the problem I am thinking if getting rid of the high definition
package with Direct TV. 11 dollars is not worth it for 4 channels.
I watch the locals in High Def with the antenna.

I get HBO on HD on channel 88 and 509 here in Los Angeles.
The big question is if I cancel the package will I still get HD HBO on
channel 509/

You will keep 88 as well.
