Most DTV receivers are already HD so it sounds like you still have SD MPEG2 receivers so you need to call DTV for their free MPEG4 swap offer.

What DVR/Receiver model(s) do you currently have?

DirecTV stopped offering SD-only/non-HD boxes back in late 2015. And HD options became available about 20 years ago. If you don't have HD then you have a legacy setup in need of updating.

What are the models of each box you have now? That will help narrow down your options (upgrade or MPEG swap).
