Dish to Direct with a Traveler

A Dish receiver CAN be converted to DirecTV but it CANNOT be converted to receive DirecTV HD programming. It could only be used with the old small DTV antenna that received 101, 110 and 119.
Huntingdog, that is correct. You can convert a DTV Trav'ler to Dish but you cannot convert a Dish Trav'ler to DirecTV HD. The main problem is that a small motor is used in the Dish Trav'ler to lift the smaller, lighter antenna/LNB and this motor is not strong enough to lift the heavier DirecTV setup.

Each TRAV’LER antenna is designed to work with specific providers. The TRAV’LER antennas work with DIRECTV, DISH, Bell TV, and Shaw Direct. The DIRECTV SWM TRAV’LER antenna is compatible with satellites 99°, 101°, and 103° for DIRECTV SD/HD programming. The DISH/Bell TV TRAV’LER antenna is compatible with satellites 110°, 119°, 129° for DISH Western Arc SD/HD programming and satellites 82° and 91° for Bell TV SD/HD programming. The Shaw Direct TRAV’LER antenna is compatible with satellites 107° and 111° for Shaw Direct SD/HD programming.

The following conversions are possible: SK-SWM3(DirecTV) to SK-1000(Dish), SK-3005(Non SWM DirecTV) to SK-1000(Dish), and SK-1000(Dish) to SK-3003.
Bottom line is a Dish SK-1000 can't be converted to a DirecTV service. :)
