They are not targeting RV's. They are just dropping the SD (sat 101)across the board. That means anybody that is using the 101 Sat will be losing some channels if not all by the end of the summer. Direct wants all their customers to utilize the HD sats and HD receivers. They feel that the cost of the SD and 101 sat for the fewer people out there does not make economic sense. BTW, Tiffin Motorhomes has dropped Direct as a factory installed Receiver for the 2019 model year. They have supplied Dish Wally receivers for all 2019 with Sat domes from the factory---because Dish has fewer problems(can also supply HD) than Direct TV and probably because of the phase out of the 101 Sat.

Another great reason why people need to Cut the Cord, drop Direct TV and go with streaming, they wont make you buy new equipment and over charge you each month for a couple of channels..

1000's of free content on streaming and you can watch it at anytime..

All the sport channels have also gone streaming..

Cut The Cord.. :C

Yep, a firestick or Roku, hotspot and an unlimited data plan. Pick what you want to watch and from a cost perspective - way cheaper than a sat subscription service. Sat TV - especially in RV's - is cumbersome, requires line of sight, expensive equipment and plans and subject to outages.
You can pick up a stick for $30 and no more needed equipment to buy, and unlimited plans are now cheaper than ever - cheaper than a DTV or Dish contract. We cut the cord a year ago and never looked back. I can use my stick in the house, RV, travelling at hotels, anywhere. and it fits in my pocket.
