    If you are currently a DirecTV customer then the Winegard Trav'ler is either an SK-3005 or a newer SK-SWM3. The Winegard Trav'ler built for Dish Network is the SK-1000. If you are changing from DirecTV to Dish Network service the answers above about needing new hardware and someone to install it is accurate.
  • It is Winegard. Contact Winegard next week and give them your current dish info and ask how much to convert.
  • Yup some new parts on the roof .. about 300-400 bucks ??
    Different satellite spacing requires a different setup .. be thankful a dish "traveler" can't be converted to directv .. requires a whole new $1400. 00 assembly
    You can't change freely between dish and direct .. not with the winegard Traveler
  • Changing a Trav'ler from DTV to DISH requires a physical conversion process, not just a setup change in the controller. Some more information is available here.
