As of Feb 27th, 2024 there is now only one satellite left for Shawdirect which is G1 (107), you will now Manually program the Travelor IDU box for Manual 107 as it will not
lock at all looking for 2 on Multi Sat. Refer to the owners manual for instructions. It is a 2 minute job and anyone can do it :)

    Systems prior to 2017 will need this upgrade.
    Shaw Direct has recently implemented the third and final phase of its transition plan from MPEG-2 to MPEG-4 satellite encoding. This change will bring 
    many exciting new features to Shaw Direct customers, including expanded high definition (HD) programming options, enhanced programming guide 
    functionality, and additional receiver features.
    While Winegard strives to build products with longevity in mind, this change will cause any Shaw TRAV’LER (model SK-7002 or SK-7003) system built prior 
    to November 1, 2017 to lose ability to properly identify and lock to Shaw Direct orbital satellites, rendering the antenna non-operable.
    Winegard has developed upgrade kit SK-73UP that can be utilized to retrofit affected TRAV’LER systems. The SK-73UP kit includes the following:

   a new IDU (interface control box)
   ODU (under turret electronics assembly)
  Specialized tool to remove and reinstall ODU
  ODU mounting screws

    There are multiple ways to determine the manufacture date of a Shaw TRAV’LER system:

  Locate the IDU serial number on the bottom of the IDU control box and contact Winegard technical services at 800-788-4417.

     Note: If either the TRAV’LER turret or IDU has been replaced at any point, this number may not be accurate

  Locate the turret serial number by on the existing TRAV’LERs electronics module. This is accessible by removing the existing turret from the transition
     plate and flipping the turret over. The serial number is located on a sticker on the electronics module with at black arrow pointing at it. See the second 
     page of this document for an example photo.

  Locate the serial number on the front of the TRAV’LER informational packet, if available

    Winegard uses a standard numbering format with an embedded date code for all product serialization. Each serial contains the product model number 
    followed by a tilde (~) and 16-digit serial number.

    The first six digits indicate the manufacture date in MMDDYY format (ie: 110117 would represent November 1, 2017).
