Receiver info for the Winnegard Traveler Mission
Hello, We just purchased an older RV with the Winnegard Mission version, and was wondering if it is still usuable in todays world? We are DTV customers, but have the Genie & "mini" in our house and know they won't work. Is the H-24 still working? Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Changing Aspect Ratio on an HR24 receiver.
