Important information
Dear JimR,
Regrettably, we must inform you of a new law that affects your programming. Until recently, the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act Reauthorization (STELAR) Act authorized DIRECTV to provide you access to your out-of-market broadcast networks—ABC, CBS, NBC, CW, and/or FOX. Unfortunately, Congress has decided to not renew key provisions of this law. As a result, on June 1, 2020, we no longer will be able to provide you access to these out-of-market channels. These are not available anywhere else. However, this change does not affect access to your existing local network stations.
If you’re paying for these channels, you’ll receive a credit within 1-2 billing cycles for this programming change.
If you have any questions, please call us at 866.595.9429.
Thank you for choosing DIRECTV.
As it states my local programing will not be affected but it is as I do not get locals in the RV.
I too have had the Distant Network Service for a longtime.
Maybe Dish will work for a while a lot of things are changing
