I want to fess-up and say I'm a long time Dish Network user but have seen lots of talk about Direct TV moving away from SD and the older receivers creating a need to upgrade their systems. A friend recently replaced their receiver and when they put it in their motorhome, their automatic antenna wasn't able to understand SWM or HD instructions. She found this YouTube video that explains how to change the settings on the receiver so that it's happy to receive the signal the antenna tunes. I thought I'd share it for others.
