Has anyone research the conversion by Direct TV to digital signal. Direct TV tech told me this week the in motion satellite "Winegard" will not pick up the signal once they change. Here is Winegard's response to my question. Has anyone looked into this?

At this time we are onlyaware that at some point in 2019 DirecTV will now longer support SD receivers,not that SD broadcasts are being stopped.
Due to the way DirecTVbroadcasts HD signals our SD only systems cannot receive them. If DirecTVchanges how they broadcast HD signals when they implement any change then ourSD only systems may be able to receive DirecTV HD. At this time DirecTV has notprovided us with any detailed information what a discontinuation of SDbroadcasts would entail should it take place. Until they provide us with thatinformation we do not know how our systems will be affected.
Thank you,
