Yup the G2+ will do SWM for those receivers which only work in that flavor using the SWM 840 kit.

But be aware the G2+ only looks at DirecTV's 101 satellite. Sat 101 in the old satellite which used to carry all of DirecTV's programming in SD. AFAIK, there are no HD channels on 101 (wrong kind of transponders) but if there are, the receiver can have them. Most of DirecTV's HD programming is on sats 99 and 103. The G2+ (or any of its portable brethren) can not receive sats 99& 103.

But you can receive (most?) all of DirecTVs programming in SD mode on your SWM only receiver.
