I submitted a new DNS Waiver request 6 weeks ago because "my previous one was expired". They just told me my waiver was denied (I told them I had at least two previous waivers with no problem). When I asked the CR why she said the networks denied it..all five of them? When she tried to connect me to DNS people I was disconnected because their account service assistance stopped right then for the night (10:00 P.M. Mtn Time). I will call back tomorrow but wondering: Have any other folks been "routinely" denied the DNS waiver lately? Sounds fishy to me.

Guys, I am not a techie and some of this such as DNS is into the weeds for me. I have Directv and am staring to worry about rumored changes. I understand "locals" and when I travel in my MH I take 2 receivers from home with me and when I get where im going, if its out of my normal-at home viewing area, i call Directv and do an service address change...i get locals....then when I get home i do a service address change back to home address. I have never had a problem doing this. What am I missing?

What you are missing is it is much more convenient to have the DNS locals out of New York or Los Angeles if you move over and over and over again throughout the year as a full or nearly full, timer. I can't imagine having to call Directv every time we move from one spot beam area to another.
By the way, we are still on the same DNS waiver we submitted back in 2000 with our first motorhome.
