My experience is that a Direct TV non HD Dish will not support a HD receiver so you might want to check that out prior to buying a Direct TV dish from any source.
I would like to hear from anyone who has attempted this same process.
I made the mistake of going from a non HD receiver to a HD receiver. I now have a HD dish which is way too large to carry in my truck camper.
I used my 18" SD dish with a HR24 receiver which has HD. Just set the receiver to hide HD channels and change dish types from my slimline 5 at home.
But different receivers have different capabilities.
