How can I get 1080 quality tv through dish network without paying for it?

I just bought a sanyo 1080p 42 in tv and have dish network. Is there a converter box to put between my receiver and tv to make my tv picture better without having to pay the extra monthly charge for hd programming?|||There is no need for a converter. You TV automatically upconverts the 480p from DISH to 1080p. However, (as you can see) there is only so much an upconverter can do. If you want to watch HD, you need to pay for HD programming ori nstall your own off-the-air antenna.|||The only way you are going to get HD quality Dish Network is with a HD receiver. There is no other way. Off air channels are fine, but you aren't going to get an off air channel in true HD.
