Since we are looking to purchase a trav'ler in the near future, I checked the website. Under FAQs:
"Q. Can I use the Eastern Arc with the DISH/Bell TV TRAV’LER antenna?
A. The DISH/Bell TV TRAV’LER antenna is not compatible for Eastern Arc in multi-satellite mode. It may be capable of reading satellites 61.5°, 72.7° and 77° in manual mode depending on the manufacture date of the antenna."
So it seems, the longer I wait, the more likely I will be able to get a trav'ler with the ability to get EA, at least in manual mode. If I wait long enough, they may add that capability for auto mode.
That was my thinking as I delayed purchase for over a year. It's been over a year since I bought it anyway. I've exchanged email with Winegard many times through all that and never got the slightest indication that EA support was even being considered.
I'd say switch to Direct and get a Trav'ler.
