Converting from Dish to DirecTV in MH

In the process of moving from one S&B to another we have changed from Dish to DirecTV. We have been using the original crank-up Winegard and a Dish receiver since 2004.

Now I need to change over to DirecTV in the coach. What is required and how much time, effort and cost is involved? Has anyboy made the swap?

I don't need In-motion, auto search or any of the other fancy stuff. Not sure if the current LNB will work but I do need a different receiver.

No HD needed. All equipment is analog including tv's and control switch.

    You do not need a new LNB -the one you have works for SD on both direct & dish
    Just get new receiver and now you will aim at 101 instead of 119 sat-19º to the east of where you use to aim & a little different elevation

    Sounds like all you will need is a receiver and a new LNB. Call one of the internet satellite equipment resellers and they should be able to set you up in one stop.
