Direct TV revisited

Hello

Question: Do you still get any programing from SD and DNS?
As of Jan 31st all my programing on my D11 receiver disappeared with code 722.
Well after many contacts with DTV one of the agents stated that all SD programing ended as of Feb 1, 2021.
I had a H24-100 receiver on hand and that was activated and I am getting some channels but not like it was before. I have no networks at all
Probably will go with the Dish Pay as You Go program I have been looking at the satellite antennas now and got it down to two of the Winegards, Pathway X2 and the Pl8000R.
Since the 15th of January when DTV disconnected my service for what I do not know and after a few hours of chat and phone calls and misinformation I am done with DTV.
I look at this as a new opportunity to get and do something better at a small cost.

    Do not listen to one service rep and make a hard decision because DTV reps will give you different information from one to the next. DTV has a a travelers section on there web page and some of the tech support reps know about RVs in general.

    All said and done and me getting upset I did give it another try and I am now watching DTV in SD on an old D12 receiver and an old King Dome on the roof using Sat 101 and then I need to move the King Dome to 119 to view locals a reel pain but workable for now and to see what DTV will do down the road.

    Today I received a new access card and that is working after activation.

    I guess I got an education on how to try to maneuver through the maze of AT&T / DTV reps and what works and does not and what satellite dishes work and do not.

    Also I just saw on youtube a new satellite dish (new to me) that is a full size dish with automatic aligning for both DTV and Dish, It is called a TV SAT 2.5 it is on you tube now.
