I know I asked about this on another Forum and for those who know, a reminder(for me) would be nice. What Series of Direct TV Receivers will continue to work with the 101 Sat now and after elimination of SD. I know the number of channels broadcast on HD 101 will be limited and possibly gone all together in a matter of years but right now, I'm just planning on upgrading my SD receivers in the RV.
If I recall correctly, the HR44 and HR24 were two such receivers and I assume there are others when you add SWM switching and power adaptor? The discussion over on IRV2 is quite lengthy on this subject In case anyone gets the urge to read a novel!
Basically I expect that SD will be eliminated and there will be changes with which bird transmits what channel. Very few w/o SD will see any change.
Some receivers require PIs and some don't. I don't know what you mean by "SWM switching". The HR44, HR54 and Genie-2/HS17 require SWM. The HR24 is either SWM or 1-2 channel multiplex.
