Directv RV Account will they make service call?

My friend has a Directv RV account and a home Account. He is going to be in RV site for 5 months and his older directv dome satellite is not HD.

QUESTION: Can he call them and ask them to set up an outside satellite dish? If so, what will it cost?. Have had trouble getting to the right person to speak with apparently.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

    I have not done this but I have seen many who had Direc Come out and install a dish.. NOTE: DirecTV does not actually have any installers.. all Installs are done by licensed contractors.. NOT direc, but "Joe's Television" or some such.

    Contact a licensed contractor in the area you wish to park and ask them.
    (A DirecTV dealer).

    Option B:
    DirecTV sells a "Disaster Recovery Kit" consists of a Dish, LNB, Tripod and coax.. Almost everything you need
    (you need a way to get the coax to the receiver)

    If you are comfortable running cable. GO-4-IT
  • donn0128, thanks for the reply. He would like someone to come and set a satellite dish on pole. Does that change anything?

    Thank you for your consideration.
  • No.
    The dome is probably not made or sold by Direct so they cannot/willnot work on it. He needs to find an independent service guy to come and check it out. If he knows its dead then for around 150 dollars he can buy a complete dish tripod package.

    From recent experience even if he has a service contract Direct will not work on an RV.
