If by "Roll down" you mean a winegard Sensar II or III then there is no need to replace unless broken, if Broken and not fixable (mine is fixed) the Sensar IV is the recommended replacement head. For OVER THE AIR Television.
If not broken a WINGMAN is less than 50 dollars and easily installed, A pair of common slip joint pliars may help. but I did not need 'em.
Also if you have the classic wall plate with the outlet, switch, light and antenna connection replace it with the SENsAR PRO.
IF you have, as I do, a BOX of many buttons.> Well I added the SENSAR pro. Ask and I'll tell you how, about 100 dollars give or take a bit.
For DirecTV. I recommend a tripod mounted DISH. DTV is discontinuing SD broadcasts and there is no dome I know of at this time that does HD. (I'm sure one will come out soon from king Controls, but not yet) And roof mounts suffer from teh "EVIL TREE" syndrom (Trees eat signals) so go with a Tripod mount.
Different systems. SOME Direct TV receivera will receive OTA some will not.
