Changing to Dish is an option, but I have a contract with Directv for the Genie II and I have a Winegard Travler so I'd have to buy a new dish and arm for it to receive Dish. It may be cheaper just to cave and get a second account.
And Bill, you say not a big deal then you go on to explain the solution is exactly what Directv says I can't do and several other people confirm that. Directv is saying I can't have another receiver that doesn't hook to the Genie. And I want HD channels. That's the main reason I got the Winegard Traveler dish.
