Veiwsat Extreme = HDTV?

[pgguru]

I heard that the component output on this receiver can decode HDTV if you aim it at a HD Bird. I have not read this and just want to make sure it is not true before I repeat it. Thanks

PS any other new about this receiver before a Buy five of them?

I read the HD receivers are coming out this year. Maybe, but as of now the Viewsat, Coolsat and Pansat are not HD receivers. The price should give you a hint! HD receivers will cost much more if for no other reason that demand is high for one.
