Can someone please help me with HDTV options?

I checked Comcast in your Zip code (see the ref below) and you're right, the HD offering is surprisingly limited. So I'd also look elsewhere for TV. Before cutting the trees, do you have any other options in your area? AT&T U-Verse would be a prime choice for you, if U-Verse has been extended to your neighborhood. Or FIOS (another fiberoptic-based system) from some other provider perhaps? Or how about over-the-air with a good antenna? The HD offerings are limited, but you should at least get all the networks, and they're free.

If none of those work for you, get very detailed information on the azimuth to the satellites you'll need to receive. HD via DirecTV requires a multiple-LNB dish that receives from more than one satellite. You'll want to make sure that all of the trees that could interfere are removed. Good luck.

If you go the tree cutting route, you need to know what your sight line should be, you can find your needed sight line on various websites, that will give you an idea of how much of the trees to cut. Or maybe you need a mast mounted dish away from the house with a better sightline - you will have to run cables to the house though, either aerial or buried (in conduit)

Heres what you can do.. u can either chop down the trees and get sat. in which case u can either go the direct tv route or go for a FTA sat. which picks up a ton of channels and you dont have a month to month bill.. which some people prefer altho u pick up a TON of channels in other languages once u get it programmed your set. Another route you can take (this one i did for the heck of it) is go on ebay and buy a hd antenna which basically will pick up all hd channels within a certain radius... i payed $10 for mine it goes 40 miles and i get 10 extra FREE hd channels.. which hey for 10 bucks i payed a one time fee of $1 a channel to get pbs.. nbc.. abc.. and several others.. anyhow its really up to you if your on a tight budget like me i'd say go that route try the hd antenna heres a link to the cheap one i bought.. the cool thing about it is that you really dont have to install it or anything you just plug it in and set it ontop of ur tv.. for 10 bucks heck it was worth a shot and its not bad... anyhow here the one i bought http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item... IMAGINE ICI-102 HDTV / DTV / UHF INDOOR PLANAR ANTENNA was the listing name.. looks like he doesnt have any up right now but i'm sure there are plenty more on ebay .. hope this helps you out :) .. on a ending note i must say that cable is just a ton more reliable.. i dunno where u live but i've had bother sat and cable and i hated being in the middle of watching football or a show and because its raining direct tv goes out.. so its really up to u.. i personally like having cable and just throwing that booster antenna up

Give dish network a try, they have more satellites and get better reception and price wise are much less than cable and direct tv, take a look at their site for price info and have them take a look at your issue you have nothing to loose, the dealer that I worked with was great and they offer more extra perks, www.satellitetvviewer.com
