mailman Report post Posted February 18, 2019 It has been on the internet concerning Directv no longer in the future not to host SD. This would mean maybe we all should keep in mine to get ready for HD only for our camping needs,with Direct TV. So, if we have a SD setup Directv on the roof of the motor home, how much trouble to convert to a HD system.? Would everything have to be replace? For instance ,HD TV, a receiver Box, and a new Sat dish. Will One have to modify the roof to hold all the weight of a bigger Sat Dish? Has any one with a trailer , motor home try to update their system. Tim the Mailman Class C Winnebago Itasca Cambria 2014 32 ft long 3 slides Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted February 18, 2019 Mailman, I took off a Winegard dome and put a Winegard Dish Traveler 1000. No weight difference to speak of and the installation was very simple. This was one time I followed instructions and had no hiccups. I do have 2 TVs and they are both HD. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted February 18, 2019 I had the DISH & replaced the head only with the Direct TVHD...motor is the one that came with DISH...$1,800 for everything. Sold the DISH, receivers to the installer for $600 & wrote a check for $1,200. The installer does all makes for RV and he'll be in Perry, Minot & Six State Shreveport Rally! Have his card, but not handy...Herman should have it also! It all depends on how long the Satellite will remain in orbit & transmit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted February 18, 2019 I will contact our Southern Region VP and Vendor Captain and get the man who does Satellite service for Six-State. When I get it I will post it here. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mailman Report post Posted February 18, 2019 This is a update to my original post. This applies to Directv only. I just got off the phone call with a REP with Winegard Corp Office in Iowa . If you have a SD receiver Directv , they are being replaced by only HD receivers . They are phasing out SD in the future. If you are concern about this the Trav'ler Winegard for Directv can received both SD and HD, This was my understanding of the topic. Tim the Mailman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
