I just called AT&T to get set up on the service since they are offering the box for free ($200 value) only to find out that you CAN NOT get HD programming through the HomeZone box. In essence, to use HomeZone through my primary TV (which is HD) I would only get the programming in standard broadcast, not in HD. I suspected that the customer service rep was an idiot (since you can clearly see an HDMI output on the box) so she escalated the call to a Dish rep who confirmed that you cannot get HD programming through the HomeZone box. To get HD programming, you need a separate box that is NOT part of Homezone. In my opinion, the system is a half-baked until they can integrate HD and Homezone in the same unit.
