Converting Winegard Trav'ler DirectTV to Shaw Direct

I just imported (to Canada) a motorhome that has a Winegard Trav'ler DirectTV Slimline dish and LNBF. I need to convert this to a Shaw Direct system.....

Has anyone done this? I see a SKA733 kit that has the dish, arm and LNBF. Do I need anything else to do this?

I saw mentioned that you need to re-program the control box. Is this something that the user can do and is there instructions available? Or is this something that has to be done by Winegard or Shaw?

Any advice you can share will be appreciated!!!!

    It cannot be converted. You will need to remove the current Trav'ler and replace it with a Trav'ler for Shaw. Very sorry but this is not speculation. I worked for Winegard for a few years.
    The SKA733 kit is to update an old Shaw Trav'ler (SK722) to the new Shaw 3 LNB setup.
